OK - I've read the bitter vitriol in here used to describe the use of the
push-in option when wiring electrical outlets, but is there any study
someone can point to that has tested the long term difference between the
screw terminals and the push-in variety? All I hear is anecdotal - kinda
like the resistance a few have for using PEX in plumbing.

Aside from 'personal experience', is there any data?

Hi,
I don't know about statistical data but just law od physics.
It may be quick and easy method but look at the contact area of
the wire vs. looping wire around screw and tightening it.
Spcially when the outlet is carry near capacity current.
I never wired using stab method. But I am sold on PEX.
