Wattgate or Jena outlets?

Anyone tried and compared both of these receptacles? which one gave you overall better results?

An electronic component used in surge suppression. IMO, the Nylon plastic on the Hubbell outlets is more brittle with cryo treatment (piece cracked near screws). This would also affect the insulation resistance of the body. I don't think the NEC would consider this legal unless approved by UL and CSA.
