It's not terribly difficult to set up a 12V supply line. We just take one of the screw terminal sets from the KoP and bring a power line from the PDB to it and use that to feed power to the sensors. We have a similar setup for our signal and ground lines, so it provides very little hassle to set up.

If you want a cheap optical encoder, 1023 used this encoder and pigtail with success.
