Thanks for the replies, and sorry for the delayed response. I was traveling yesterday and didn’t get a chance to edit the OP. I think I have enough replies to post the other sections now, but feel free to keep posting with any builds / resources you’d like to add! This is a place for discussion, like anywhere else on the forum.
