12-3 solid wire is always such a pain to work with I was thinking of
using some of the rubber coated stranded wire (still 12-3). In the past
I've used that extensively outdoors. Is there any reason to not use it
in wall for short runs?

12 ga is to much for regular lighting. 14 is easier to work with.
