FWIW, I use B simply because it is, as you say, more popular. Most
generic
patch cables I've found are B.
Keep in mind that stranded cable is generally recommended for patch
cables,
and solid for runs. Stranded cable handles the stress of being bent
and
handled better, though I generally don't bother for my home network.

I guess I should have searched before asking. Sorry.
For other that may want to know, my research shows 568B to be the
most
popular. Either one is ok as long as both ends are the same UNLESS,
you are
making a cross-over cable. The you would use 568A on one end and
568B
on
the other end.
Thanks,
Bobby
