Hubbell 5362 Backwire vs Sidewire

Any outlet that I installed I have side wired. It is a better connection over back wire!

Either one is fine that receptacle isn't the old type where you backstab. You loosen the screw then insert the wire behind the plate then tighten the screw. 

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.
