While EDACs are great for a large studio, they can be a PITA for small guys. First, you need crimping tools, and proper crimper is expensive. And crimping 5-6 EDACs is not worth the expense. Second, the connectors are quite expensive and not readily available in some locations. This means long lead times for some studios.
I personally would look into solder tails patchbay. Neutrik also has patchbays with quick connect terminals which look very promising. I haven't used them because they didn't make those patchbays when I wired the studio.
While you're working on the patchbay, I'd suggest that you connect most of its sockets to the cables. The other end of the cable may be not terminated. This is convenient, especially if you are wiring with multicore snakes. This way you may solder any connector you need when you get the gear ready.
