While the 9V connector is cheap - I am quite happy to go with simple
In-Line 2 pin connectors (IDC) - they are small, and cheap and have a
fairly neat finish. The PP3 battery connectors would be somewhat bulky
and look a little clumsy. Plus this would mean you could connect it
easily to PCB's and other microcontrollers, or Servos which use a
three pin of teh same type.
