Measuring current multiple circuits without common ground

CrossRoads:
Why not use a shunt resistor in each line and calculate based on voltage across the resistor?
V/R = current
dipmicro electronics
Use some DPDT relays for isolation & automated switching control.

This is the method I was looking at using but with multiple power supplies would it be important that they would all be connected to the arduino ground pin? That's why I wanted to isolate them from each other.
