This is the best way to go, if you have the room. Not only does it look neat but it is faster and easier to wire, troubleshoot and change and the cabling is protected.

Labeling is also important. We label all wires, cables and components using the sheet and line number from its location on the schematic so it can be found quickly on the schematic.
