Power Strip with Individual Switches

I've been slowly making an effort to get all the wiring more organized and user-friendly. One of the things I'd like to change is having my more commonly plugged/unplugged items on a switch. While on Amazon looking for a reasonable price on switches for the outlets on my power strips, I stumbled across these

Very reasonable price, (cheaper than ONE 3-prong outlet switch
https://www.amazon.com/Grounded-Sin...2297833&sr=8-3&keywords=3+prong+outlet+switch), and with a 6 foot cord to boot. UL listed. I ordered a few, time will tell how they hold up.
 
I bought that same power strip for my water testing/water making area. I use it to turn different pumps on and off. Actually works pretty good for me. No issues going on a year now.
 
I use a dj strip from guitar center.

This is he one I use...

Those are nice. I like how all the connections are on the back of the strip.I looked into them, when everything was still pretty much confined to my stand. Almost all electrical connections seem to have migrated out of it long ago, and are now scattered in various areas....

I use an apex

Same here, but I don't have my Vortechs or Gyre connected to an EB, I figure it's a waste of $100 in outlets , since they don't need to be plugged into an EB to function via the WXM or the Icecap controller. I have a few Maxijets up and running, those that just run 24/7, I just run on a regular power strip.
My biggest reason of looking to add switches to the outlets is because I'm not a big fan of the errant spark I sometimes get when I plug/unplug them.
 
I use and Eliminator E 107 I got off eBay. Works awesome. Has 8 switched with a fuse and plugs in the back. Super slim and clean to mount. I can take pics if you want. I also like it because if you want to go super in depth and put in a controller later with abilities to control switches, there is room in the box to do the necessary wiring changes.
