I don't think it's all about your favorite connection. My 2 cents, take it for what it's worth. There is a safety factor in there. (and code) etc,etc, It should be more about the "right connection" You need an electrician with knowledge of wiring requirements whether you lay cords or hardwire.....Discuss you needs and options with him an eliminate a LOT of headaches and to make a safe workable system. None of it is going to come cheaply to do things right but that's the only way it gets done right. THE plugs should match the amperage needs of the draw. The amperage draw should match the wiring and those 2 things need to match the breaker and the service box/ feeder line/ and transformer capabilities and THERE is a reason for different blade designs of those plugs. Its to NOT plug the wrong sized loads into the wrong amperage breakers and wiring.

Both of these were done by "professional electricians".

#1 Hog nursery wired with almost all one color wire, no marking, etc. Figuring out why a fan doesn't work sucks.

#2. 240 Volt outlets placed right next to a water connection. 3" maybe. You can see the old spots, I relocated up and away as far as I could.
