How do you hang tools on the wall?

I'mbuilding a corner workbench and I want to hang some tools above the bench. I have looked at pegboard(which looks really nice) but it has some disadvantages such as the hooks sometimes fall off the board, the hooks are relatively expensive, etc.

I also saw a you tube video by a man named Herrick Kimball who uses 12 gauge Romex copper wire to fashion various ways to hold his tools to a sheet of plywood attached to the wall. The advantage to what he is doing is the copper wire is cheap and he can bend the wire to accommodate the tool better thanthe standard hooks and brackets that the pegboard system uses. With his system he is able to space the tools such that he can get more tools on the wall than you could with the pegboard system.

I also know that there are French cleats that come in handy for attaching some tools to the wall.

So what do you guys use and do you have any other ideas that you like?

Thanks
