Default Use Screws Or Holes For Wire In A Switch ?

Hello:

Was wondering about simple light switches that have both the conventional
screw terminals, and also have the push in holes for the stripped wire in
the back.

Are either just as good, and safe ?

Which do you folks use; the push in is certainly a bit simpler, but one
wonders if the "grippers" inside really make as good and as secure a contact
as well tightened screws ?

Thanks,
Bob
