I'm about to have both. My commuter with the old spade clips and wire going down the fork leg: https://photos.app.goo.gl/KvEhGNafH7NENUbJA The unconnected length of slack is carefully calculated for me to be able to carefully pull the wires' clips off the hub's spades in mittens (don't ask). Otherwise the wire pair runs up the outside of the fork leg and excess is bundled near the headlight. Tres cosmetique.
The new thing in the works will have the SL treatment Vaughn's "wrong" custom has which is the frame and fork are the ground or (-) pole for the generator hub and a single wire carries the (+) pole of the DC current. For cleanliness (see my commuter for the opposite) the SL system uses an insulated contact on one fork dropout for the (+) pole from the generator hub that has a wire connected to it which runs immediately into the fork leg tube and is out of the weather, slop and camera view. A sample: https://www.flickr.com/photos/57641994@N06/9686197451 Aside from the visual and physical cleanliness from wires strung all up and around the bike, it lets you drop the front wheel just like any other instead of having to disconnect those two small spade connectors (or one of the cool single prong connectors). Catherine and my new thing (you can zoom in on the right fork tip and see better): https://photos.app.goo.gl/fE9RhuZwJNTJuiCZ7 All the wires are up at the top ot the fork awaiting final trimming, connecting and tucking away.
