I am curious what gauges of wire you recommend...like for i saw someone was using 28awg enamel coated wire...like what all can you use that for? also what do you use for just general wiring?
 
I use IDE for everything except higher voltage power lines, audio, and video.
 
What would you recommend for those situations? Audio video and power (I'm thinking of ~14.4v )
 
For power, I would use around 24 gauge or thicker (lower number = thicker).
For audio and video, the thickness is not as much of an issue. For those, you'd want some kind of shielded wire, which looks like this:

You want this because this will decrease interference.
