If it were me, I'd run a supply in each cabinet. Some redundancy,
especially when touring. Half the load on each, less noise coupling.
Higher reliability since there aren't external cables and connectors.
I slave the AC mains from a single power switch. I run a power supply
in each of my 5 cabinets with the max at 24U or about 16 modules. My
10U of digital modules are in their own cabinet with a dedicated power
supply. Just my opinion. Can't have enough power supplies.
