side wire. many jurisdiction will not allow stab wiring because it is so flimsy. the connection will fail over time. And be aware that it is against code to use the receptacle to connect several white wires in a multiwire branch circuit because you can cause problems in the event you remove the receptacle. You need to wire nut the white wires (neutral) together and bring only one white wire to the receptacle.

Either method is fine. If you want to quick wire, make sure you buy the right switches and receptacles.
A lot of the quick wire are 14 gauge. If you have 12 gauge wiring, you will have to buy 12 gauge quick wire components.
You can also buy a 14 gauge quick wire with side wire screws. This will cover all bases.

quick wire is kinda of a bad way to go you only have a small amount of contact at the connections
side wire it , you get a large area of contact .plus you have some torgue at the connection
quick wire you are most likely get a loose connection and loose cause problems with electricity

Go with sidewire. That way if you need to make a future change it will be easier.
