Having your motor controllers all in the same general location can make it easier to do troubleshooting by swapping components.

Distributing the motor controllers closer to the motor can make it easier to find room for them.

Having a long run for the PWM cable increases the chance of something cutting it or pulling it loose.

Putting the controllers electrically far from the power source means that more of the voltage drop is seen by the controller and might result in a brownout. For Jaguars, that can cause issues, especially when using CAN instead of PWM control.
