Hey Tim,
Have you actually experienced ground loops with your set up? I run my mobius pre/post, I have an h9 but I don't use it pre/post. But i haven't had any issues with any ground loops.
I'm in the middle of the pedal board build. I'm actually attempting to avoid ground loops before they happen and it's become quite clear that ground loops will occur in the "Output 2" of both, the Mobius and H9 units when running Pre / Post. In the video by Pete Thorn (mentioned above), he makes it quite clear that ground loops are going to occur when running Pre (front of amp) / Post (FX Loop). My board is quite complex and large with insert and exit points that I really don't want to have to re-cable after everything is in place (way too many cables to deal with). What I've decided to do at this stage is to finish-up the "Pre" path (all FX in front of the amp) and then thoroughly test for any issues and then move on to the "Post" (all FX in the FX Loop) connections (even though I've already run the cables from the PBC to the "Post" pedal locations. When I get to the "Post" pedals, then I'll connect each pedal one by one and test the entire board until I'm satisfied, and then move on to the next pedal / then test. I still believe I'm going to need a Radial Stagebug SB-6 on the "Output 2" of the previously mentioned pedals. But, I'll address that issue when I get to it. Again, just trying tackle all the potential problems before they happen. I've contacted Radial and their Rep assured me the Stagebug SB-6 can handle both FX pedals "Output 2" ... he states that each channel is independent.
