William,
I have a suggestion for improving your 12V system. The weak link in your system is the connectors, IMHO.
I've started building a house. My goal is off-grid, net zero energy and all LED lighting (among other state of the art features). I'm planning on a 12V distribution system along with a 120/240VAC system. I will be using the Anderson Power Pole Connectors for the 12V system http://www.andersonpower.com/products/singlepole-connectors.html . These are the same connectors used by many of the Amateur Radio Emergency Services organizations around the country for their rugged reliability and dependability. The PP15 series offers 15A capability, hermaphroditic housings and contacts (both crimp and solder) and color coded housings. Their silver plated contacts are rated for 10,000 mating cycles.
For house wiring it would be nice to have the connectors mounted in the wall like an AC duplex receptacle. Unfortunately Anderson doesn't offer a wall plate for that purpose, but they do offer mounting clamps that can be used to secure the connector assemblies to any flat panel. I'm planning to buy blank wall plates and modify them by adding a rectangular cutout and holes for the mounting clamp hardware.
If I was into home built aircraft, I would probably be using these connectors.
Joe
