Which is better under a router table, plunge or non-plunge? I've
watched the Router Workshop on TV with the older guy and his son and
they swear by the plunge router with the springs removed. Is there a
real advantage to that or is it just individual preferences?

Religious war. Those who prefer either will defend to the death their
choice.

Just for the record, I am a proponent of plunge, specifically the one
that the Rosendahls (the guys you're talking about) used mostly
(they've used Dewallies and P-Cs, as well); the Hitachi M12V (and when
all the sponsorship left, they continued to use the Hitachis painted a
putrid purple).

P.S. Yet another question, is there a proper name for "non-plunge"?

Fixed base works.
