I use all 3 methods: stereo chorus unit, ABY box and jumper (not all at the same time!).

with my 2 tweed Deluxes I prefer a short jumper. I haven't noticed any loading on an amp, or experienced an unacceptable level of noise, or tone degradation. (caveat: we hear what we want to hear!) ABY and stereo pedals require more and longer cables that will degrade tone.

Clean boost helps to maintain or thicken tone in multi amp set ups too, I think.

From time to time I enjoy the benefits of any of these 3 methods, so try em all-they're all fun.
