OK gang... I need a little assistance!!!

I've been out of the install business for quite some time, and recently
"volunteered" to rewire my alma-mater's radio studios. It's not a huge
job, but I've discovered that some of my favorite vendors no longer seem
to exist... and, choices I made years ago may no longer be all that
wise, as I am sure the technology continues to race ahead, even for
something as interesting as wiring. Any and all advice on choices for
the following will be greatly appreciated!!!

Patchbays - actually, I did find a great patchbay at Audio Accessories,
it uses a Molex connector for each pair of jacks, which make
repair/replacement of cables a snap. I think I like it even better than
the old multipin connector solution (I KNOW I like it a whole lot better
than terminal strips or punch-down blocks!!). It's cheaper to boot. The
connectors are a new (at least to me) type from EDAC using interlocking
blades instead of those awful, and ubiquitous round pins and sockets. A
"special" crimping tool is required, but that doesn't really bother me
since I think I'll probably take this opportunity to rewire my studio as
well.

If you haven't seen these yet, and you have need for such a beast check

Has anyone actually used these? I'd love to hear that they are as cool
as I think they are.

Cable - I used to use Gotham Audio GAC-2/1, it was very easy to work
with, had the dual shield which has worked out better than foil even in
fixed installations for me, and it is reasonanbly priced. Unfortuantely,
the supplier I used to use, DGS Audio, no longer seems to be. Any
suggestions for a similar cable from Gepco, Alpha, Belden, etc? Any
suggestions for good suppliers?

Connectors (XLR and 1/4" TRS) - I'm in the same boat, I used to use the
Deltron connectors, and I used to get them from DGS. The Neutrik
connectors seem to be about as easy to build, but they cost a lot more
than I remember. Suggestions?

Cable Markers - I really like the old slip-on plastic numbers and
letters. I can't even remember where I found them when I found them
years ago (and I do remember labelling being a very time consuming
process with them - but they were indestructable and VERY easy to read).
Searching the web has produced results, the ones that look the most
interesting are the little label printers, but they are expensive, and
I'm wondering if they can make a legible label for really skinny cables.
I'm also intrigued by the labels that can be printed on a laser or
ink-jet printer. So, one last time... suggestions?

Thanks a million for any and all assistance...
