There's no real "right" answer to this, it depends on your hardware, utilization of your hardware, and all sorts of other kinds of parameters.
I've never used Ganglia myself, but my naive understanding is you have an agent that runs on every node you want to monitor. Then the agents "report back" metrics to a central server which provides the view into the metrics of all your nodes (ie all the graphs and what not). So if it was me, I'd install the ganglia agent on every node I want to monitor. Where to install the central server? You'll have to read up the documentation on Ganglia and figure out where that fits best within the servers you own. You'd find the best info about Ganglia on their website docs, or their mailing list.
