After decades of research, I have a few general comments that are overlooked or that I have found through research/measurements.

I prefer pcb from the standpoint of consistency, product to product.

I prefer pcb because I can minimize part to part, part to chassis capacitance.
Pcb from the standpoint that I can design lead to lead, thus minimizing wires.
However, pcb can be detrimental if too small of foil is used or the layout is sub-standard.

Hard wiring tends to lack consistency, between parts and from parts to ground.
Hard wiring in bundles is one of the worse possible configurations. It looks nice while being detrimental to musical integrity.

One tends to have higher capacitance between wires, wires to ground, and musical information being "transmitted" to adjacent wires/parts/ground. It markets nice, looks nice/organized, while being detrimental.

I hand wire large power supplies.

Cheers
