Mark,
My suggestion would be to put a central water trap on the tank outlet and
individual regulator(s) where needed. My experience is that the only time I
want to reduce pressure is when I use a paint gun. The blasting cabinet
should have an additional water trap mounted directly to it unless it's
extremely close to the central trap. If you're painting I again recommend a
secondary water trap as close to the gun as possible. As long as the
compressor intake is effectively filtered I see no need to add secondary
filters.
