Imperial or Metric - Electronics Hardware
(OP)
Just about to start a new project involving several PCB's and other electronics "stuff".
Does it make sense to use metric or imperial for items such as standoffs, spacers, PCB mounting? Etc.
Advice?

While electrical components may often be metric, for the mechanical mounting hardware this doesn't really matter.
