Can anyone share best practices around using anti-chafe sleeving for (non-engine compartment) wire runs? I'm talking about this stuff:

- Do you put this sleeving around all wire runs? If not, how to determine which ones to protect?
- What's the appropriate size to use? Should the wires fit loosely, or should you jam wires in so the sleeving expands tight?
- How to securely start and end the sleeveing? Heat shrink?
- How to branch/merge wire runs that are protected by sleeving?
- Is it worth it to even use this stuff? I'm tempted for simplicity to just lace or zip tie my wires and just run them through the fuselage "bare".
