New house, prewired, suggestions on patch panels for cat6 and rg6 in equipment closet

Looks great.  Can you also take a pic of the rack to the right?

Nothing to see these days.  When I began the adventure of installing the Elk system, I decided to migrate off the rack onto the backboard.  The pivot mount for the Cat5e patch panel on the backboard is more secure than on the rack, which I didn't fasten to the floor.  I sized a 1" angle aluminum patch strip for the RG-6QS house runs so it will fit on the 19" rack, but I like it better on the backboard.  Today there are a few PCs and some video gadgets on shelves on the rack, but nothing that needs to be there.  At one time it supported a couple patch panels, a switch, a server, and a UPS all with standard 19" mounts.

For everyday residential use Leviton works just fine - you can shop around for the best pricing, but if you're in a pinch you can always run to Home Depot just to get a couple more.

Anyone have any experience with these keystones?

Nope. I just use the Leviton ones.
