And why?

I can understand wanting the fuses for those lines isolated from the rest of the house circuits. But I don't think it makes a difference where you locate it. I don't think the voltage drop would be a difference. If anything having all four lines fed from a single spur 50 feet long and then four shorter spurs could have a larger voltage drop than 4 dedicated spurs of the longer lengths.

From my experience I would put a sub panel housing real old fashioned fuses next to the main panel. And to get real tricky I would put them on the phase not being used for the rest of the house.

Good luck.
