What are the best receptacles and plugs?

I am about to complete the wiring of my dedicated circuits and am wondering what receptacles and plugs A-goners feel are the best. The ones I am looking at are: PS Audio's Power Port, Furutech Gold Receptacle, Wattgate Gold Plug, Furutech Gold Plug and Furutech Rhodium Plug. There is a wide range of prices and wonder if the extra cost is worth the investment.

You might add the FIM outlets to your list. These list for $60 each.

You might also consider fellow A-goner Albert Porter's cryo'd Hubbels which work great in my system (after a lenghty break in) and sell for $36.00 I believe.

I am using PS Audio Power Ports wired to a 20 amp dedicated circuit. I replaced Pass & Seymore 20A hospital grade outlets with the PS Audio's and feel they were a worthwhile upgrade. However, there is a significant amount of material concerning this subject on this site. Someone mentioned members Hdm and Lak they seem to have done a fair amount of research,therefore, I would recommend you read their posts.
