In re-thinking everything I've gotten in the habbit of doing, I'm
re-thinking wire selection too.

Without delving into coax and the like, can someone point me to the
pros and cons of selecting amongst the following:
- Al vs Cu conductor?
- Single strand vs multi-strand?
- Single conductor, vs multi conductor, maybe twisted pair shielded
multi conductor (does it make a difference for basic instrumentation
wiring)?
- Gauge?

Thanks,

Chris Maryan

VIBRATION ! will destroy single strand before multi-strand of the same guage, aluminum before copper
