Plastic NM Connectors
Any opinions on using those new plastic NM connectors over the old traditional metal connectors?

I can't comment since I don't know what you are referring to. Lack of clairvoyance, I guess 
If you are referring to box connectors as Pete showed, then yes, they are super.

They add insulation between the cable casing and panel, not that it is needed. They are a "one way" application so the cables don't pull out. They are fast to install. They are cheap. They don't weigh much. That enough?

The black plastic are easy to use and inexpensive. They also cannot be overtightened like the screw type. They cable can be removed if needed by spreading the tabs slightly and pulling the cable out.
I hate the blue ones.
