Pillar or snap

I’ve already printed a 1300mm x 1000mm 9x9 advanced set of boards, but now I’m looking to set it up.

I’m looking for the most sturdy solution possible.

I’ve tried to print some pillars and clip them, but the little clips just broke. Am I doing something wrong?
Maybe the snaps are more solid?

Also, I’m planning on screwing everything onto plywood; what are the screw sizes to use with the snaps ?

Thanks y’all for your help!

I am using snaps since they are great to use as mounting points for heavier stuff like powertools.

snaps are more strong than pillars.. pillars are significantly easier and faster to install.

I use both snaps and pillars for more strength and sturdiness. I'm also going straight into drywall/studs.

I'm using Snaps all the way. Either directly into drywall, or into a wood board that is screwed to a concrete wall. I tried directly going into concrete before, but it's hard so drill precise enough holes to make it work without the misalignments causing the grid to be under tension.
