I use lots of speaker wire for main feeds. It's fairly cheap. Solid core wire is easier to solder to rails so I run it through the table. I would not use solid wire for "buses" at it breaks far easier than stranded. Ever try finding a broken wire under benchwork 10 min. before guests? I use to solder all connections, but lately have been using small wirenuts with no problems and no burnt fingers. I also use lots of alligator clip jumpers for quick temporary connections for tests. They seem to never get finished. I just buy more jumper cables. I hate working under the bench. It's a real rat's nest. I pity anyone other than me who would try to troubleshoot it.
