Duelund DCA 12ga Hookup Wire

Just tried Duelund DCA 12ga on speakers (2 pairs TRUE bi-wiring) and VERY VERY impressed with SQ especially for the price. Now thinking building XLR ICs with either 20ga or 26ga ...

Questions for DIY members:

1. Do I just use 3 runs and solder them to positions 1, 2 and 3 on connectors?
2. Any specially weaving patterns on the wires?
3. Any suggestions using different wire for ground?
4. Any suggestions 20ga or 26ga?
5. Other suggestions?

I use the pure silver, single strand shielded from PartsConnexion:

However, it IS brittle. A few too many twists and it will break. Still, I haven't found anything I felt was cleaner sounding. 

Best,

I'd also run that question by grannyring here on Audiogon.
