What's on the *inside* of the block wall? Will you just have a
piece of ROMEX poking out a hole, draped along the wall/through the
ceiling to the loadcenter?


Pretty much that. It'll exit the hole on the inside and run to the
panel. No junction box is required per code.


Define "best". : Do you care about Code or just want to get the lights
lit? :

The method I'm following is within code.

I'm pretty sure Code doesn't allow unprotected Romex along the exposed
wall inside the garage area. Whether it did or not, just me, I'd run it
in conduit if no place else to hide it "just because"


According to an electrician, it isn't code, BUT, after more thought, I
agree with you and can't see how it wouldn't be code since the exposed
romex could be penetrated along it's run. Thus, the conduit will protect
it. I will run conduit to be safe.

Thanks
