I prefer cable lacing to the nylon ties.

I have seen nylon ties degrade and break, specially under the sun.

Nylon ties are often tied very tight, so tight that they can damage the 
cable insulation and perhaps the outer conductors.

Nylon ties cut your hand when you push it trough the mesh of cables 
trying to get one.

Maybe the #2 and #3 are due to not using a certified tool for tying 
them, but I have never seen such a tool. It was mentioned, but nobody 
had one.

Oh, I have seen steel ties, Chinese made.
