Hey now, have you used these before?
They are rugged, the contacts arnt horrid, and they are cheap. 

However, if I didnt have reservations about using them I wouldnt have asked
for other opinions....

Heck, I thought about going all old-school and using Cinch-Jones connectors.
Major problem with using them is you have to cut a square hole for the
jack.  Well, that and to be safe you'd have pins sticking out of the back of
your equipment ( female on power supply, male on equipment, cables are all
male/female )
