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.
Glad its my shop I am responsible for - I only have to make me happy.

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.

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.
