Breadboard-Prototype in general:
     It is best to use things you can easily acquire. Look at YouTube=20
projects, home built projects, Raspberry Pi and Arduino stuff.
Prototype boards (plugboards) are available in many sizes. Use #20 to=20
#24 solid wire or enjoy the ready made wires, they are worth the=20
discount price.
DX.com : worlds slowest and cheapest vendor.  DigiKey.com : Fast=20
delivery and fair prices.  EBAY is always a gamble but I play there a=20
lot.  Futurlec.com takes about 2 weeks but the prices are generally=20
worth it.
In the learning phase one should always imitate before they innovate.
I prefer Anderson Power Pole connectors for all 12 volt DC connections=20
in my shop. Mainly to stay closer to Ham Radio Practices and RC airplanes.
Any PC board that is worth a few$$ gets appropriate connectors the first=20
time to avoid damage from re-soldering. Those same wires that fit the=20
proto boards will plug into pin connectors.
Practice soldering/unsoldering on junk.  Nothing beats experience with=20
soldering.
Occaisionally, I buy something that turns out to be worthless.
