Put what fits in your particular locomotive.  You may save a marginal amount of time wiring when you go to add sound if you standardize your harness, but depending on how long you wait to put sound in you may find that your harness is obsolete, or not supported by that brand new super miniature sound decoder that fits your little critter just perfectly.  For the most part I use the 9 Pin JST connector.  That gives me spare wires if I want to go back and put ditchlights on my diesels later.  In some cases I also use drop in replacements for the existing lighting board (P2k 0-8-0, Atlas GP7).  [quote user="rrebell"]Their is a problem when standards no longer are standards. Now it seems everyone is going in different directions, kinda like it was in the beginning of DCC.[/quote] And that problem is the consumer doesn't hold the manufacturers to the standards.  Also the standards may need to be revised or updated.
