Thanks again! Chief Delphi is quite an amazing community!

Depending on the project and packaging space, you could also do
inline fuses.
Here you could get a nice quantity of them for reasonable price.
I would say this is the Anti-Distribution board solution.
Though if you want a more common ground, you could run your returns through a buss bar like
this.
To be fair though, your PDB or PDPs do a lot more than just act as distribution and fusing elements.
They also have more stabilized voltage outputs and the new Cross the Road unit works with your system to do all kinds of neat data logging and what-not.
Some good key-words to search are:
Bus bars, terminal blocks, fuse blocks.
If you are only looking for on/off capability,
Automotive Relays may be an option for powering things like motors.
