I'm not currently practicing this method...but i've used a expandable mesh before that keeps everything clean looking.

Right now i am currently using the rats nest method...because i've been swapping between chassis too often

There is the standard wire loom material, there is also this split loom stuff that I use:

Or you can go old school and use wire lacing.

While the mesh looks nice, it's too impractical for me. I prefer zip ties so when I need to work on something it's easy to take on and off. I also run some wires individually hidden in the chassis and the mesh is too bulky for that.
