I like to be able to understand a diagram without too much external 
reference.   I really do want labels for everything used, including the 
jacks, pots, switches, and the type of module.  I would like to be able 
to understand it for the most part even if I don't have a MOTM.

When I draw my own patch diagrams, using a pencil and graph paper, I 
make block diagrams of the modules and draw lines with arrows to 
indicate patching.  This shows the signal or control direction, which is 
more detail than you would see in a photo.  I label the inputs and 
outputs.  I jot notes about pot and switch settings.  So my preference 
would be for a less graphic, more schematic approach.
