    IF you make them the same you can run on one stat.
    If not, I would run two stats.
    I would prefer to only have to replace on one rack should anything ever happen.

    I'm doing 3 inch for the top and the others I am doing 6 inch

    If you're running different size heat tape you're going to need different thermostats for both sizes. So let's say one rack has 2 rows of 3 inch and 4 rows of 6 inch for the bigger tubs you would need a herpstat 2 just for that rack.

    Possibly add splitters in between each tub? Most snakes wont care, but others sometimes get fussy if they see one beside them

    Racks made to hold 41s long ways have a bad tendency to sag in the middle. Other than that it looks great!
