I dropped a couple feeders today, and hooked them up to two terminal strips that power the entire layout. I attached a couple main buss wires, and hooked up the power pack for a test run.
Things went fairly smooth; I'd definitely like to drop a few more feeders to make sure power is getting to each section of track adequately. Plus, soldering all the rail joiners together will help that as well.
Here's a short video I edited together of the first run (watch on YouTube for higher resolution):
