For typical shop light fixtures, is 14-2 sufficient for wiring?

I think most codes require that you run AC (armored cable) into the fixture,
rather than romex.

shop lights usually come with a cord. I only set an outlet, and plug them
in. Armored cable is not required in private garages above 8'. (mine
doesn't have anything BUT NM in it.)

Since you have done NO research - no! A minimum of 250 mcm.
