I notice you live in Canada. From my understanding the Canadian code is simular to the NEC of the USA.Install at least 3 dedicated circuits for the 2 channel system. I would install 10-2 w/grd romex. Install on the same Line in the main electrical panel. L1 or L2 but not on both. 85' run I would install #10awg wire.
HT, at least 3 deicated circuits. 12-2 w/grd romex. Again install on the same line in the main electrical panel. Short run for HT #12awg is fine.
Subpanel, If you have the extra breaker spaces in your main electrical I would not spend the extra money for a sub panel and new feeder.
Main electrical panel breaker installation.
Example if you put the 2 channel dedicated circuits on breakers feed from L1 install the HT circuit breakers on L2.
