I back-wired my 4 Hubbells with 10 gauge stranded wire and other than sometimes taking a couple of tries to make sure I had the wire fully and evenly seated, I find the connection extremely secure once the screw is tightened down.
I'm not sure if I could have side-wired unless I terminated the wire with a spade because the wire is so thick.
I feel like back-wiring was the best option for my installation.
I've only ever side-wired with romex type solid wire (not multiple strands) that is easy to wrap around the screw and that was in a non-audio installation.
