ok, NOW I understand the question,
(thanks Stefan, guess I'm just not firing on all cylinders today)
To answer the question, I `Roll My Own" because
I'm impatient; I don't want to wait for a prototype board to
come back from a board house. I'm also cheap, I don't need
to pay for 3 ~ 10 boards when all I need is one. I don't like
point to point wiring, if I can avoid it I will.
Breadboards are unreliable, sneeze and something will come loose.
Breadboards are also NOT a good idea for HIGH voltages or currents
and they induce their own capacitance.
Final thought off the top of my head, breadboards are EXTREMELY
DANGEROUS when you're working with AC (Mains) power!
