John Andrews' technique of isolation at both ends of the cable sounds like
the best way to go. If there is noise pickup anywhere along the cable, some
fraction of it can make its way to either end. But if I had only one set of
isolation components, my preference would be to put them at the shack end,
and ground the cables only at the preamp end. This assumes that the noise
level is higher at the shack, which is usually true unless you've picked a
really poor location for the remote antenna :-)
