Help with connectors

Hi,

I'm building a 3D printer and want a connector for the extruder (part the extrudes the plastic)

What I need is a 8 pin connector (both male & female) for quick disconnect.
2 pins are goind to have around 5A and the rest is for small current data type (thermistor and bipolar stepper motor with 22AWG wires)

i've looked on digikey and newark but i'm loosing my mind and the fact that there are so many :-S

Anyone could give some ideas on what I could use ?

Thanks!

Does the cable it have to be flexible? If so, how many axes.?

I already have the cables.. the connector will be on top of the rig and should not move

I'm looking something like a 8 pin molex (like the newer computer supplies)

What do you think ?

The Molex should be good. I use them.
