1. Always hire an electrician if you can.
2. Adding or changing a breaker is usally easier than adding or changing an outlet. (There is usually just 1 screw)
3. Metal conduit would be preferable and contain ONLY your dedicated circuits. Metal shields while plastic does not and can not.
4. If you're running 100 feet I would install 10 AWG THHN 3 wires each circuit (White- Neutral / Black- Hot / Green - Ground)
5. The "Isolated" ground does not require any special installation, the outlet is just designed differently but hooks up normally.If you can identify the dedicated circuits at the panel, simply turn off those breakers and proceed. You can install a box at the first convenient location, cut the wire existing and splice it to new wiring run through new metal conduit to your new outlets.
Putting the conduit together is very cheap and easy, you can buy prebend pieces or simply use cheap boxes at each change of direction.
The whole project will probably cost less than $25!!!!
