Outlet shoot out

OK I am doing new outlets this month. What to use?? Standard issue Hubbel hospital grades? PS Audio? FIM? other?? what do you use and why? what else did you try? There have been a few threads on outlets but I don't recall seeing one comparing them, also perhaps a different outlet for amps and sources, anyone try that? This is a relatively cheap tweak(expensive outlets are under $100) and about time I tried it! Thanks for any input.

Hubbell makes two versions of its Model 8300 hospital grade 20amp outlet. According to the Hubbell spec sheets available on their web site, Model 8300I has nickel plated power contacts. But Model 8300HI (slender/compact) uses brass non-plated power contacts.

I would think the non-plated outlets might have sonic advantages, and I remember seeing a posting to that effect. Can anyone comment?
