[DeTomaso] [NPC] Air pressure regulator

I finally got 220v wired to my new compressor. (It turns out that I already
had 220 3-phase in my sub panel, so life is good.)
I am planning the plumbing now. I am trying to set it up such that I can
condense out most of the water vapor but have a minimum number of taps to
drain at the end of the day. Of course, I want to have a lot of taps and
want to minimize the number of bends. No PVC but low cost.
I am having fun drawing up various plans for my poor-man's dream garage.
Coming out of the tank, I'll have an 8 foot vertical pipe with horizontal
pipes branching off at the top. It is a small shop (basically one car put a
work area), so I don't need to get too fancy.
Some questions:
Where do I put the pressure regulator(s)? Do I put one next to the tank to
running the plumbing at 90 psi or do I put regulators at the taps so that
the plumbing runs at the full 155 psi?
Same question about the air filters.
I'll have the blast cabinet next to the compressor. Should I run a short
pipe from the tank to the blast cabinet for max air flow or run a long pipe
with loops to condense out the water vapor?
