I'm assuming that's in the basement?
I would do that if it were an option, but homes aren't built w/ basements here, and I've only worked on maybe two homes that had some type of mechanical area that could be done.
Anyway, that said, I've always used a flush enclosure.
I've used leviton w/ no problems, but I've started using products from
Suttle (price). The link will take you to their residential products page. If you create a username and password, the prices will be on there; its less expensive than leviton, and I've found those 8-port patches to be useful compared to leviton's 6-port. The prices they show are about 5% higher than I pay at the supply house, so that may give you an idea of what you're paying.
