With all these new Shunyata products coming out, I’m not yet quite sure what the best game plan is?
Here is some gudiance from Caelin posted elsewhere for a very similar question that you may find helpful.

What I like about it is that it is based off using the power distributor as the "foundation", and provides very clear and most importantly, EFFECTIVE way to think about choosing PCs for power distributors and components. Key: PD = power distributor; Comp = Component

DENALI 6000/S v2

Good Value, good sound
PD: Venom V10 XC
Comp: Venom V12/V10 NR

Great Performance / Reasonable Price
PD: Delta XC
Comp: Delta NR
Upgrade: Alpha NR on amps

Best Price/Performance (near reference level)
PD: Alpha XC
Comp: Alpha NR
Upgrade: Sigma NR on amps

EVEREST 8000

Best Price/Performance 1/2 SOTA Price
PD: Sigma XC
Comp: Alpha NR
Upgrade: Sigma NR on amps

Reference Level (SOTA)
PD: Omega XC
Comp: Sigma NR
Upgrade: Omega QR on amps
