I'm partial to Heyco Sunbundlers which are PVC coated stainless cable ties:
https://www.heyco.com/Solar_Power_Components/product.cfm?product=Sunbundler-Cable-Ties We try to do the majority of our wire management with stainless S-clips mounted on module frames or rail mounted C-shaped clips. Cable ties are used sparingly for final runs into J-boxes etc. I don't know how much better the good quality plastic ties are (made by the likes of HellermannTyton or Panuit) compared to lower cost hardware store varieties. We've found regular Home Depot type plastic cable ties last about 10 to 15 years under modules in the Bay Area.
