Nobody can say how much resistance you have in your chassis. Some people may be fine while others may lose 1/2 a volt or more.

Someone on here said it well: When it comes to electrical, anything worth doing is worth overdoing.

Btw in setup1 you would still ground your batts to chassis.

I ran mine like version two...fine for ~2kw in my truck, and never saw below 12.8V during burps.

What if there's just one batt in the back? Is it necessary to run a ground all the way from the front to the back batt? I've seen mixed opinions on this.

Depends on the vehicle. If it is a uni body I would consider this a no brainer to run the ground up front
