My instinct tells me the massively parallel, but I could and probably am wrong again. :) Using a tree (what you are calling massively parallel) for distribution produces a uniform voltage drop for all of the devices, and has a better worst-case voltage drop than a serial chaining distribution. The serial chain has different voltage drops for each pair of disks, depending on how far down the chain they are, but the worst case is very bad. The reason is that the tree has O(log N) depth, and the serial chain has O(N) depth.
