We've wobbled back and forth in our spaces between point to point and patch panels.

I highly prefer patch panels as that means you can have better use of switches AND different switches in a given space. It has a higher cost but again greater fractional use of switches.

On the other hand one has to be certain that switches one is patching to are redundant if your servers are to connect to switches in a redundant manner. Servers A to switch A and Servers B to Switch B.
