Sounds to me like the best plan is to run heavy gauge wires between the power supply and radio, which is what most setups do. This minimizes the voltage drop at high current.

When you do the math, you learn that it's not as easy as that. Yes, short fat copper for that path is a good thing, but what's more important is short fat copper from chassis to chassis of all the interconnected radio equipment, and any accessories having an unbalanced connection to that equipment.
