We use the individual housings and we never use the roll pins. Zip ties going across the backs of the housings have worked fine for us. Some of the reasons I like individual ones, they are normally cheaper, you can have multiple colors, and if you need to quickly invert a motor direction you can do it without pulling the contacts out of the housings.

I've been using them since I started in FRC in 2003 and wouldn't want to use any other connector.

I bought some green and yellow ones to use with the CAN wires this year, we'll see how that goes.
