Hi Rob,

Run it anywhere that you have access. It doesn't need to be outside.
The point is that you do your grounding and power protection at the 
entrance panel for your antennas. The cable entrance panel is your 
single point ground. You have no other path to your equipment but 
through that panel.
Now an extensive ground system hooked to that panel would be ideal.
