My preference is to use actual patch cords, but, I'll crimp when necessary. I used EZ plugs while working as a CO technician @ Level(3) and we ran a lot of Ethernet cables around the various COs. Never had one fail. AFAIK, they are still being used post CenturyLink merger. I do have an EZ crimper and a supply of 6p6c and 8p8c plugs for use at my Church.
