Electrical Supplies

Our team is running low on supplies following this build season and are looking to replenish our stock, on this occasion I felt it would be helpful to ask those at Chief Delphi what they use and where they order it.

So where do your teams order your wire? What type of wire do you use? Do you purchase single or dual conductor? What brands do you like/prefer/trust and dislike/warn against/distrust?

What kind of quick disconnects do you use (if at all)? Where do you order them? What crimper do you use?

What products do you use for cable management/organization/routing? Where do you order them, how well do they work? Do you label/color code your wires(on the robot)?

What "rules" do you impose on your robot's wiring beyond what FIRST already includes?

The above questions were ones I personally have at this time, but of course any general tips/tricks/ideas are more than appreciated. Thanks in advance for any and all answers/suggestions.
