so I went down the rabbit hole on this over the weekend and was kinda surprised by the overall cost. To an extent I'm a cheap bastard....but I also believe in buy once, cry once also. I assume the isolated units are the best way to go? Also thinking at least a 10 unit capacity as well. Donnie showed me his supply which takes it to an extreme by being able to dial in voltage to each individually. The mxr seems to be the best bang for the buck new at sweetwater. My pedal whisperer suggested the voodoo one also.What would you guys recommend?

The Strymon power supplies are where it’s at. I replaced the Voodoo Mondo on my board and immediately noticed a difference in the noise floor. Yeah they’re more expensive but worth it in my opinion.
 
I just have a Voodoo Lab power supply for the few pedals I use, but I did see Friedman has one out that's supposed to be pretty nice.

everything they make is pretty killer. Freidman too.....
 
I have an MXR mini iso brick and also a Truetone One Spot Pro CS12. If I could go back I'd get a Truetone CS7 instead of the MXR. I've never had any clock noise issues with the Truetone but do with the MXR. I still can't run an MXR Flanger and an El Cap on it without clock noise. I use a dedicated supply for the El Cap and the MXR iso brick for everything else on that board and that cures it.
 
I use a Mondo. Bearing in mind any complaints of noise is likely from the pedals near it - not the unit itself. It's not as well insulated as some, but it's a righteously massive PS and does the job when placed properly underneath the board.
 
I would get the voodoo labs pedal power 3 plus, gets good reviews and pretty flexible.

If you have high current pedals than cioks dc7 with the cioks 4 or the Strymon supplies are the way to go. Truetone cs7 and cs12 are good too, till you push them, then they show their limitations. The cs7 couldn’t handle to Kingsley 9v 500mA pedals, but does great with just one.
 
Good timing on this thread, I just replaced my old OneSpot with a Zuma... seems to work just fine.

If you're talking about the old One Spot wall wart daisy chain thing, yeah definitely those definitely can cause issues. The new OneSpot pedal power supplies are a totally different thing
