Thanks Scott, the hardware from the keg up is. Regular type D sankeys for fourteen of our beers and the type U for our two Irish stouts. From there there is a 6' 3/8ID vinyl jumper to the tecflo 100 fob on the wall (these are mounted at approx. 70" above the ground if that is a factor). Then there is a 12" 3/8ID vinyl line from the fob to a two way beer manifold for splitting the kegs. Now this Beer Y is unlike any I've seen so I'm not sure of the resistance. It is 3/8 in and out but it is not metal. Plastic block with plastic 3/8 barbed on bottom. A black plastic elbow coming out the left & right sides 1" 3/8 tubing and a plastic shut off for each line. If anyone knows what it is please let me know.
This link has a picture of the unit but it's hard to see.

It's in the second picture down on the right hand side. It's the unit located directly after the fob. Off topic this company sure loves to sell pumps. Is there any advantage to using 100% CO2 other than the savings of the mixed canisters?

Our Beer Y is the last stop before the tower.
There are 4 trunk runs as there are 20 products going to 2 locations (2 trunks of 10 per location) To save line lengths the trunks will exit the cooler at different locations. Picture a big L shape of kegs. Two trunks will exit at each end of the "L".

Run #1 is 34' from the farthest Beer Y and 26' from closest Beer Y to the tap. Verticle rise of 15' from bottom of keg to faucet.
Run #2 is 49' farthest Y to 41' closest Y. Vert. rise of 42" from keg bottom.
Run #3 is 27' farthest Y to 19' closest Y. Vert. rise of 15' from keg bottom.
Run #4 is 42' farthest Y to 34' closest Y. Vert. rise of 42" from keg bottom.

Our faucets will consist of 3-10 product underbars (not sure of choke length yet but probably can be altered) and 4-3" chrome column towers.
Now I'm still a little unsure of the different types of tubing and how to tell them apart but as for trunk lines they are not installed yet and we can go with any size from this point. 5/16 sounds appealing as we'd need 4 glycol lines in there as well and the trunk would be a bit smaller and hopefully easier to manuever than the 3/8.

Sorry for the novel but any help would be awesome.
