I use wire, figure, why not, it's easy, looks cool, makes for a reasonable redundancy.
I am generally surprised by how many folks notice it, frankly.

Hi

Safety wiring is also a must for me.

But for me the wire is more like an indicator. I wire with a small “eye” in it to see if the tension on the wire increases (in such a case the small “eye” would shut). A decrease of the tension could also be easily checked if you try to bend the wire.

In addition to the wire I also use a safety clip.

see: http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/s...g/ppuser/53959

That's what I do.

Cheers
Werner
