Dedicated Lines and Wall Boxes

So, I've read up here on how to run dedicated lines, but I have one remaining question. Do people run the individual runs of 12-2 cable down between the same wall studs and use a multiple-gang box, or is it better to run the cables down seperate wall cavities and use seperate boxes?

Thanks,

I have both methods of wiring in my rig and honestly, testing between them I find no difference in performance.

I do like the rather inexpensive plastic receptacle boxes from Home Depot. Non magnetic, unbreakable and non conductive.

I've tried both ways too and not heard a differnce. Make sure to buy high quality wall outlets like Albert Porter's are equivalent.
