Yes, stranded can be very nice but I have run into a receptacle wired by a licensed electrician that had half the conductors out from under what was a now loose screw. I replaced it with one of the nice side-clamping types which I think work great for stranded. Ironically although they're sold for stranded and solid, I don't think the side-clamping work that great for solid.
So stranded I like side-clamping.
Solid I like screw-type.

this has become my preferred solution for 10 gauge. stranded plus a side clamping receptacle.

Never had trouble with #10, Just bend it once. Or strip it back 2 inches to wind it around the screw then trim off.

I bought all stranded, two 500' rolls when I ran #10 for my 220 rec's.
Cost is cheaper with the big rolls.

I was not able to find a cost savings in 500' vs 250' from menards or lowes. 250' fit my lazy susan cable unwinder easier too. I could even have 12 and 10 on at the same time.

Hope this is what you were thinking about.
There are 31 lamps lit -- 16 amp draw
110 and 220 volt receptacles alternating across walls.

Now I've just got to get the trench dug and conduit run for power line.
If it quits raining long enough

Lights up before the ceiling/insulation?

Won't be a "ceiling" and insulation will be sprayed on foam and budget may delay it for a while.
And the wiring had to be finished before inspection, etc.
Lights are on two circuits just to make sure.

10-4 on that.
That will probably be good. That way if you have a leak (stray screw in the tin) you can spot it.
