While most residential settings use Romex® or plastic conduit, some areas use EMT (think Chicago) or flexible metal conduit or metal building framing. So in those cases, an isolated ground could be useful. But it's very easy to mis-wire an isolated ground system and in commercial setting they are hard to maintain over a long period of time.
Oh boy, Oh boy. No, No, No. !!!!!!!!Each of my dedicated outlets has a dedicated ground via an 8 foot ground pole.

Never ever do this.
A building should have only one ground rod system.
For a US type power system.
All the ground rods should be connected together at one point and that one point connected to the Neutral at the building service entrance/main breaker box.
Double Yup.............Yup...
For the reason google "step voltage" and then realize that if there was a lightning strike nearby there could be thousands of volts of potential difference between your ground rods. If you were touching 2 different chassis that were on 2 different ground rods and lightning struck you'd get zapped... possibly killed. Step voltage is the way lightning kills a vast majority of folks. You need to arrange the ground connections as SS said above to avoid this scenario.
People have the idea that ground is the end-all be-all sink of electricity and the truth is the neutral/common in the trafo feeding your house is the voltage source. It is important that grounds in your system are all at the same potential but this has nothing to do with the physical connection to the earth at your service entrance.
