Rebuild electrical hardness with M-unit

I`m considering rebuild my whole  electrical hardness and use a M-unit and a new speeso/rpm gauges.
Make it modern and don`t foucs on beeing classic.

Questions pop-up in my head:
1. What cables to use ? Use the calculator in my "elec diagnosis guide" (link in my signature) to ensure correct cable sizing for each circuit and only use "multi-strand" automotive specific cable
2. What connectors to use ? As you are not looking to stay original the choice is infinite, personally I am using "DTM" style weatherproof connectors for pretty much everything
3. How to protect the cables a modern way? You can either use "tape" or sleeving (I will predominantly be using "shrink sleeving" in my build

Thank you

Is it other thing to consider?

Use different colour on the cable for easier troubleshooting in the future? As much as possible try and stick with OE colour coding, it will make diagnosing potential issues easier at a later date

Use shoes on all end where you terminate the wire? Not sure what you mean by this ??

With the M-unit you want to use a special Ferrule Crimper to crimp the ferrules onto the end of the wires.  It gives a much more secure connection. 

Don't take shortcuts.
