Electure,
Your inspector dropped the ball. There is no requirement in Article 334 regarding the use of bushings. 110-3(b) does not apply because there are no written instructions attached to the roll of cable requireing installing the bushings and there is nothing in the listing of MC cable that requires their use either. You should consider sending that inspector a invoice for your time.
Bill, the insulated equipment ground you mentioned would have to meet the marking standard in 250-119, taping a conductor #6 & smaller would be prohibited. Unless, of course, the installation complied with 250-119(b), which would not apply in most cases. AC lite may be available, but I still like the insulated equipment ground in MC.
