I have a barracuda as my main return to tank, and I am going to use my GenX 18000 as a feed pump, and return. My question is:

Is it better to have 1 "T" and then T from there, or should I have several "T's" off my main line?

I want to run a fuge, a quarantine, and frag tank off this pump.

Thanks

If you look into some of the spa supplies there seems to be some interesting solutions

I had to make the same decision recently and I went with one, 1.5" Tee off the main line and then built a "manifold" with three take offs, all with separate ball valves. I used threaded ball valves and threaded fittings on the manifold take offs so I can expand as much as I want.
