Default 15 amps or 20 amps

There's likely to be a few sockets where things get plugged in
once every five years. The lamp behind the sofa. The garage door
opener socket, on the ceiling of the garage. Those don't need
premium quality sockets.

Other things get plugged every day. Razor shaver, blender and
toaster socket in the kitchen, etc. Those could use premium
sockets.

And there are exceptions like me, who leaves his shaver plugged
in all the time.
