A new 200-amp service panel has already been installed, and it is located
on the front wall of the basement.

Since this is a long and high house, does it make sense to just run all
of the wiring directly from the main panel in the basement? Or, would it
make more sense to strategically locate one or two subpanels (such as on
the second and third floors), run power to those subpanels, and then run
local circuits to each of those areas off of the subpanels?

I completely agree with John Grabowski. The feeder, these days is going to
cost you a lung, but the convenience of having a local panel and another
in the basement is well worth it. Is this not a legal 2 family , with 2
meters?

Thanks. It is a single-family home with one meter.
