So for all of you who have been answering my question you know that I am in the middle of a rehab. I have decided to pull the permit and just rewire the whole house, I am going to do the electrical this weekend myself so that I do not eat up my additional items budget (it's for unplanned things). The inspector is going to be at the house tomorrow so we can go over what my plans are. He said that any question I have he will be more then willing to answer but I will have a lot, so I decided to ask you guys one of them.

I have three rooms, two of the rooms will have 3 way switches operating one light and 1 room with just a single pole. I am wondering if I should just supply power to a junction box from the breaker and split it three ways to feed my switches. Or if I should pack the extra wire into the switch boxes and just daisy chain the 3 switch boxes.

It won't save me material either way.

My attachment shows how I want to wire it if you don't understand what I was trying to say.

Personally, if it was me, I would just run a 12-2 to each of the 3 rooms, most need to be Arc Fault, Then a 12-2 for the travellers, 12-3, if switch leg or neutral need to be on other end of cable.
Most of what I do, is in conduit, better info from the local Electrical Guys/Girls? On this site may follow.
