DIY balanced interconnects

I want to build some balanced interconnects.
1. Has anyone compared Swithcraft, Vampire and Neutrik XLR plugs?
2. Any comments on Mogami Neglex 2534 vs Vampire CCC-II vs Oyaide PA-02 cables.
3. Should the ground shield on these twinax cables be connected on both ends, only on the source ends, or on the preamp ends?
Thanks for your comments.

I second Kirkus about the dubious need for 600 ohm termination resitor over short distances. However, I agree with Ralph that if you want to go exceptionally long distances then 600 Ohm should get better results. Horses for Courses.

What length does Oldears need?
