2. various wall plates - OK but difficult to future proof. Need at

3. Some type of big modular wall plate that can be customized with
snap-in modules in the future.
Mixture of both:
I have sunk extra back boxes above most of my sockets with seperate
conduit runs. The boxes are mostly singles, with the odd double.
I plan to use Euromod type faceplaces into which you can snap pretty much
a module for anything that exists[1]. Euromod should be pretty furture
proof - and if not, there *will* always be a standard faceplate with some
sort of modular option.
[1] I've seen everthing- VGA, sat, aerial, network, fibre optic,
[louspeaker
to name a few.
I would avoid the "mega custom" modular plates, especially the combined
13A socket + ELV ones. They are too custom and I personally like a bit of
plaster at least between my mains and ELV stuff.

That wasn't clear... Use modular as 3) but use standard plate sizes as 2). A
double plate takes 4 modules.
