Whole House Audio, or Multiple Sources?

Which do you prefer?

I wired my entire Maui starter mansion with whole house audio controlled from a central server rack filled with 1 Denon A/V receiver, 1 Yamaha A/V/ receiver, 1 Onkyo 2 channel bridgeable amplifier, 1 Harmon Kardon bridgeable amplifier, 1 Yamaha graphic equalizer, and various other audio components, linked into the computer network, w/ Bose speakers embedded in every room and volume controls in every area, including outside at the pool deck and koi pond areas.

It was nice. Could throw on iTunes on the comp with a giant playlist, and shazam!... music, anywhere I went on the property with volume control. iPhone Gen 1 served as the remote through the wifi network.

Here in California though, at this house, I have opted instead for multiple sources in different areas. So for instance, I can have reggae tracks (or whatever) playing in the studio, and something else entirely playing in the garage, something else out back, etc... and I think I like this better. More variety.

Input?
