There are a few ways to do this. Some use 3/4" as a main supply line to the hot water tank and then down the middle to the other end, you can then run 1/2" off of the main to your faucets. Doing it this way will give you better flow to the faucets.
You can also use a manifold system also.
Any way that you do it make sure you use brass or stainless valves at every faucet. Use either Ball or Gate valves, they may cost a little more but they work when you need them.
