Stephen, I HEAR YOU FWIW it was always my practice and personal preference to specify 20 Amp T Slot receptacles on 20 Amp Branch Circuits: Here are a few notes for your consideration, they may help or make you more confused lol.
Typically many household Branch Circuits are still 20 Amp rated, NOT 15 Amp circuits which may be used for some lighting circuits.
The NEC permits 15 Amp receptacles for use on 20 Amp Branch Circuits but NOT 20 amp receptacles on 15 Amp circuits. The reasons get a bit in the weeds, Im NOT going there but there are reasons, the NEC board members are true experts (even if Billy Bob and Bubba or others know better lol), I will never forget the Seminars I attended WOW.
The NEC limits the load on 15 Amp Receptacles to 80% of their rating IE .8 x 15 = only 12 Amps
Of course, 15 Amp can cost less
Mike Holt (NOTTTTTTTT me) a leading NEC authority has stated (Its on You Tube) 15 Amp receptacles are actually 20 amp rated and interiors BUT WITH A 15 AMP FACEPLATE.....Take that up with Mike NOT me
Great sparky chatting with you Stephen, we have done so often and I always enjoy it
John T Longgggggggg retired n rusty on this topic remember but I still enjoy it
