To the 30/45 question, we know we should be using the 30 amp connectors for our 12-14 gauge wire. But will they pass inspection because of Rule R50 saying the electronics need to be rated to carry at least as much as the breaker?

A good point. And upon further research, the
detailed data sheet on the PP45 says that it can go down to #14 gauge. It's just the website that suggests differently. I'm edited my previous posts with this in mind.
Mind you, the data sheet also says it can only handle 40 amps for 2 seconds at 14 gauge, but whatever. I think standard quick disconnects are even worse rated, in fact.
