I was thinking more of 1 pad for forward or reverse, and adding another common ground pad. That way, in case you want to remove just the limit switch or the pot or whatever else, you can leave the pads you don't want modified unmodified. One of my pet peeves is when I solder more than 2 wires together, I try to desolder one, and another one comes loose and flicks hot solder somewhere.
