I purchased 3 miners. Once I found out the were shipping, I quickly did some research and I figured a raspberry PI would be the best thing to control these...

All things being equal, I would imagine the computer you typed that post from would be the best thing to control them. Not sure why you want to complicate matters further by bringing a Pi into the mix, other than gaining hacking experience.

Yeah, that is part of the interest.... gaining experience. This rig, is a big gaming rig that produces a lot of heat so thats the other reason... so I would prefer the small cool pi.

Another factor is to power a mining system "off the grid" as a proof of concept.

Again, anyone that plans to run their USB's on a pi, let me know your setup.

I'll be mining with a Raspberry Pi running minepeon. It includes cgminer compiled with ASIC support: http://minepeon.com/index.php/Main_Page
It's really easy to install and configure. The system runs headless and everything can be configured and monitored via a web interface.

I've also ordered a 7 port industrial USB hub that can take 7-24V DC input to simplify powering everything: https://www.bitcoinstore.com/startech-com-mountable-rugged-industrial-7-port-usb-hub.html

I don't know if this is the most efficient way to do it, but it has got to be close.

aahzmundus, sorry for the redundant PM.
