Staples on prewiring are simply asking for premature failure. Use drive rings so that there's a chance to pull the wiring out and pull new wiring in, in the event of a failure. That was the Bell System's standard for 40 years for a reason.

Surface wiring along a baseboard using a T18 or T25 is acceptable, but still requires the hands of an experienced pro.
