Hi Bruce,
I currently run 100 lb tanks with neoprene fuel line crimped to each fitting but like you, have been considering a larger, more permanent setup. A friend who is a plumber gave recommendations to me of putting the tank on a slab, running a metal flex hose from the tank to hard copper, the copper pipe into the building and putting drops against each wall with a valve, drip leg and quick disconnect fittings. Lines to the forges can be propane rated hose with mating disconnects. In case of a fire, the valve on the wall can be shut first followed by the main tank valve. In all cases, follow local fire code so you don't get ticketed.
