The mounting bits and pieces discussion came up in a thread mena661 had going recently. Should review that.

Bluesky are not the best controllers. There supposed high voltage unit is not capable of two panels in serial in the cold. With both panels on the curb side I would definitely wire in series and use a single run of cables to the controller. Morning star has a new 30 amp Tristar out but even better is Midnights new Kid. Here is a better price on the Kid.
EDIT: To the OP, I'm looking at two or three 150W panels ($165 each) wired in parallel with a Morningstar 45A PWM controller (~$200). I'm also getting a combiner box from AM Solar ($60) but you can make your own for much less. $50 for 50ft of #4 wire from combiner box to controller (ebay). Part of the wiring from controller to batteries is shared with other devices so no or little cost there for me. I think I already have some "jumper" wires to get from controller to main wires (the "jumper" will be pretty short).
