> As it stands I've had way more issues with USB-C plugs, ports and cables breaking, going faulty, accumulating dirt or shorting; issues I've never had with USB-A cables and plugs.
The only difference I’ve seen is with the plugs/ports, where USB-C has beem slightly worse than USB-A but about an order of magnitude better than USB-B; since for most real uses of USB-A, there is either a USB-B or a USB-C on the other end, this isn’t much of a vote for USB-A, though I guess if you aren't space constrained and don’t need the speed modes only available on USB-C to USB-C, a USB-A to USB-C can be ideal for some applications. (Cables are all over the map in durability, but I haven't noticed any correlation between the plugs on the end and quality, though plenty of other factors seem to matter.)
