Screwfix ones shown as an example as I can't remember what ones I
actually fitted

Just lately one packed up all together and just today one of them feels
as if one of the USB sockets has physically given up the ghost.

recommendation on type to get for longevity.
Edinburgh Scotland region if applicable.

Yeah - don't bother, replace with a decent socket, and buy a slimline
plugtop USB charger.

Apart from what you found, the USB charging standards improve every
couple of years and any charging socket will be obsolete in terms of
providing the max charging current soon enough.

My phone (that needs recharging) is already much older than two years
and I doubt I'll replace it for a few more......

.... and surely new devices that charge from USB should be backwards
compatible with older USB charging sources even though slower to
charge.
