Electrical - Romex Wiring and Other Recommended Enhancements

I am moving and will be hiring an electrician to add some wall plugs to accommodate my system needs.

I am using after market cruzeFIRST Maestro Outlet plugs but was needing some guidance on which Romex wiring to use from the electrical box, grounding enhancements, etc.  Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.  

I am using High Fidelity Hemisphere conditioner...

Thanks.

Can you use 15amp rated power cords with 20 amp plugs?

Based on everything I have read it sounds like I should:
1. Use 20 amp circuit breakers in the electrical box
2. Use 12/2 wire
3. Have electrician drill separate holes for each wire ran to/from box (at least 1.5 inches a part)
4. Have dedicated /separate circuits to avoid ground loopsquality breakers
5. Purchase good quality breakers, ABB is the preferred brand   
6. They should stay on the same buss bar to avoid ground loops

I have not measured but I am guessing about 20' to 30' from the electrical box to the location where the plugs will go. I plan on using my  cruzeFIRST Maestro Outlet plugs in the home I am closing on this Thursday.
My equipment is Primaluna Dialogue Premium Integrated
Lampizator Amber II DAC
Opportunity 105D
Auralic Aries streamer
High Fidelity Cable Hemisphere

One of my main concerns is not to do anything that could fry my equipment.  I believe with the above I should be okay.  If anyone sees any concerning issues please let me know.

Thanks all for your assistance and feedback!
