Single Quick Disconnect for 6 wires
Dervacumen:
+1 on the Molex connectors.
I've used the D-Sub and Molex for many different projects, and if you're looking for a quick, easy way to group together a less than 20 wires, I don't see any reason to use anything but Molex. D-sub is nice and I used it for my first project because you can get a ton of connections, but they are small and harder to work with.
There are two common sizes of Molex so be sure to stick with one size to make it easier to repair and/or switch around parts. For most of your travels I would suggest .062 because it crimps on to 20-22ga wire better than the larger size molex .093. If you work with vintage arcade machines I've used a lot of the larger .093. All of the wires I've used in MAME machines are between 18-22ga, with the exception of AC power.
