Personally, I've always liked rocker switches as opposed to the standard toggles.
The rocker isn't so prone to getting smashed or ripped off by whatever ugliness could happen in the neighborhood of the switch.
As far as the "Decora" sockets are concerned, the ones I've seen sold in the USA are very bad quality.
The contacts lose their spring action over a relatively short period of time (when heavily used) - and the face of the receptacle tends to crack around the grounding hole. I've seen that happen at work often enough.
The Decora-style devices I've seen manufactured and sold in South Korea, Mexico and Colombia seem to be of much better quality.
They're also the default standard style for receptacles and switches in those three countries. However you can also find "standard" devices there also.
