      Type I. The angled pins make it much more stable than F, and there’s heaps of options for cable exiting sideways, upwards, downwards, straight out, etc .

          Plenty of type I come out sideways- they are lower profile than most I’ve seen, slightly more so than type G.

          This can actually be a bit of an annoyance, sometimes… If the socket is right next to the floor, or in a densely packed area, for example, it can make plugging difficult.

          And if it does have a ground pin, it’s mandated that the ground be longer than the power pins, for exactly the reason you mentioned about G,D,M.

          The recessed feature of F I do like, even if it makes the plugs physically larger than they need to be.
