Well, except for ogg/vorbis, renderfarm generates a segment of rendered video per node. Then you need to merge or pull back into cin and re-render (hopefully at streamcopy speed) to a single file if that is your desired output. I guess I would lean toward one powerful box first, unless you have some special desire to do renderfarm setup.
