Normal and USB sockets for home

[mainline]

Hi there, I am looking for some advice re: putting new sockets and usb sockets in my home. Someone will be rewiring the entire house but I have been asked to provide the sockets whatever I want to put in.

The current sockets and switches are old style plastic ones with screws in front.

What I am looking for is some advice on the following -
1) normal sockets double gang - plastic or metal finish and what brand as I will be needing around 20 odd
2) few sockets with usb charging - around 5 one for each room - again what brand is reliable
3) normal switches for lights etc - again plastic or metal ones are best?

I have been looking around and there are lots of brand in the market and there are lots of mixed reviews. I am happy to pay a bit more if it's a reliable brand.

Much appreciated

Have you any thoughts on the Type of usb ?

I wouldn't spend too much time worrying about that to be honest! Nobody will notice.

I think that's spot on I have been thinking too much .. it's because I would like to get the right good quality stuff ..
