stranded vs. solid conductors for power cords


I know some folks feel strongly about stranded vs. solid conductors for IC's and speaker cables but what about for power cords? Obviously the PC's are just moving current, where as, the IC's or SC's are moving current and information. I'm looking to purchase multiple PC's to replace all of my stock cords and I am trying to decide what type of PC wire design to go with. I have read where the stranded wire allows a better mechanical bond with a clamp down connection.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Only difference is the stranded will be more flexible, which is nice to have if you are using 12/3 or larger wire.
