I'll take a stab at the shielded wire question.
First you need to ground only one end of the shield. I would say to ground it to the same gang ground you have the sensors grounded to,aviod ground offsets.
We have "solder sleeves" we use here at work to terminate shielded wires but you can do pretty close to the same by stripping the insulation over just the shield back about 1 1/4" then trim the shield to about 3/8 and roll it back over the outer insulation then soldering a wire to the shield and coving it with heat shrink.The ground the added wire. A piece of 22 gauge wire is all you need.
The other end is the "float" end just trim the outer insulation back 1 1/4" and trim the shield near flush and heat shrink over the shield.
