I haven't gotten to try running separate jackd for each soundcard.  So I don't 
know what implications there maybe about single instance of jackd.  I do know 
that qjackctl currently (last check was last year, though) only deal with one 
jackd instance.  If I already have jackd started, qjackctl just assume control 
of that instance.  Only heard on the grapevines that separate jackd can be run, 
and can be synchronized.

I don't understand what you are refering to.  Are you talking about the 
decription/name of the jackd-client, or jackd-client port number, or something 
else?  I don't know of jackd options to show existing list of jackd clients, 
except using qjackctl, or maybe something like 'patchage'...  With qjackctl, I 
see under the audio tab:

   'fluidsynth'
       -- with 'left', 'right' audio channels

under the Jack-MIDI tab:

   'fluidsynth-mid'
       -- with 'midi' port below it

or, under the Alsa-MIDI tab:

   130:FLUID Synth(<processIDnumber>)
       -- 0:Synth input port(<processIDnumber>)
