The Decora faceplates are nice. The rectangle is a standard GFCI size,
so the same plate can be used for switches or recpeticles. Just don't
tighten the mounting screws too much. Easy to snap the thin plastic.
Been there, done that. Twice. But they still stay okay.

Thanks for the info, "receptacles" got
hundred of items, though few
seem to be on plates UK style and none in boxes like a UK 'metal clad'
socket, but I can cut suitable holes in a few project boxes so not
really a problem. There was a splash proof socket in a box but I don't
really want a flip up cover on a permanent installation.
If you are cutting your own faceplate(s), then the "new" style
"Decora"
receptacles will be easier to mount - they have a single rectangular hole,
instead of two "double-D" holes.
