Yeah, my tech suggests 10GA with a specific number of twists in it per foot per Bill Whitlock (Jensen), home run shots from every outlet to the main box. But he's pretty over the top. I didn't read it all, but here's a discussion.

One thing is for sure, it's a lot easier to do it when you're at the bare studs stage of a build. Personally, I passed on it and ran 12Ga romex instead of the 14Ga that my electrician would have pulled if I had not spec'd 12. Of course, home runs from every quad box back to the sub-panel for the studio. From my understanding, when running separate wires for hot / neutral and ground, it is quite important to get the number of twists per foot right. Getting the 10Ga with proper twists right in walls already drywalled would have been a nightmare in my situation.
Bottom line, get it right the first time.
