I have a question I'm building a simple box for ecu power, sensor power, coil power, and wideband and mac controller power.

I have made this same box before and it worked fine, however now that I am really starting to read and learn much more I want to do things right and professional as possible.

I have some questions on what would be the better options on the ground side of relay coil

So if the relays are power triggered, what would be the best way to setup the ground side of relay coil? would daisy chaining the ground side of relays with the last one in the chain having a long wire that will get a ground from the chasis, or would the best way be to run individual ground wires from the relays, and then use an open barrel splice into a single wire that will go to it's ground point on chasis?

I have def seen the amount of voltage drop that can be noticed when daisy chaining circuits in that manner, but the amount of voltage and amps the coil side of relay draws is extremely low so not sure that would really matter in this scenario. Still I would like to hear some input and suggestions on this question. Thanks a lot
