Having trouble with noise on my pedals. I currently use a daisy chain connection on my effects, and it has an annoying hum. So i was wondering what you guys use to power your effects.

I don't really use stomp boxes, but a lot of people seem to be happy with these custom solutions:
You could ask the guy who builds them for a solution

Using a PSU with multiple isolated 9v outputs is the way to go.

Also make sure you are using good quality cables. I used to have nasty hum on my board until I decided to replace my cables. No hum since.
Yeah i know its my daisy chain. I have gone through my setup piece by piece and found that my daisy is the problem. I just dont want to use batteries or a heap of power supplies.
But i will be upgrading my cables also.

Anyone used the Harley Benton powerplant? http://www.thomann.de/ie/harley_benton_powerplant.htm
Does this have the isolated outs and would it help with the hum I get using the daisy chaining way? It's ok most of the time but every now and then it gets way worse.

Nope: enlarge the picture on the Thomann website, you can see the maximum current draw is stated for all 9V outputs combined.
If the outputs were isolated, current drawn from one wouldn't affect current available to the rest.
