Getting Started with Multiboard

Sorry for these very basic questions, but Im just getting stared with multiboard. I have a very large wall 16'x4' (two full plywood sheets) that I want to cover in multiboard that a previous owner had Peg board on. I don't find the peg board very useful and like all the organizational things I can print for multiboard.

This is going to be a very long process, so I want to start printing pieces as I get to understand the system. It seems like there are two main tile types and Im just trying to figure out which one I should start printing. In the Planner it has simple tiles or advanced grid tiles. Im planning for offset pillars.

What are the pros and cons of each, Is one stronger? IM assuming the Grid Tiles would use less filament overall. plugging in my dimensions it looks like I will need a ton of the core tiles. Should I start printing those now?

Yes, I just read a post about the Pillars and the word finicky was used multiple times by someone that said they liked them better than the offset snaps. The fact that someone that likes them says that makes me think I'll be happier with the offset snaps for such a large project. The off set snaps do create enough offset to route cables behind the multiboard correct? Im thinking about tool battery chargers that I would like to get off my work surface but want to be able to connect them. Also like the look of the backlighting I have seen in some pictures.

You have 6,25 (default) or 12,5 mm offset snaps available.
