I use wires soldered to screw lugs, making sure that the attachment 
point is not insulated from the chassis by paint. Some of the equipment 
has a dedicated grounding screw. Shells of DB connectors SHOULD be 
bonded to the equipment chassis, but not always -- some mfrs screw up 
and fail to do that.

Some of my equipment goes out in the field from time to time, so I use 
single circuit Power Pole connectors to make that easy. I'll use 2-6" 
between the lug and the PowerPole, then make a loop soldered to a 
PowerPoles that connect to each piece of gear in the string (so each 
connector has two wires). There are lots of suitable variations on this, 
depending on how the shack is laid out.

These are the slides for my talks on station power, grounding, and 
bonding. http://k9yc.com/GroundingAndAudio.pdf
