I think grounding them together is the best way to prevent power fluctuations and other such stuff. I'm no expert but that's what I heard.
When you shorted the mobo, did it die afterwards ?

How does everybody feel about utilizing two (or three) PSUs? Do you feel that connecting their ground is a good idea?
I traditionally thought that grounding them together was the way to go. I built a molex adapter that simply connected ground to ground. However, I went to disassemble my rig that had been running for months without issue, and I hadn't even hooked up my ground adapter.
I recently tried expanding to 3x500W. Something bad happened and I shorted the mobo. I was grounding all three PSUs together.
