I almost always prefer cordless over corded (and air for the same reason), because even if you have plugs available, dealing with the wires all the time is a pain, and can be dangerous if the floor becomes a massive tripping hazard. Really the only tool I regularly use that isn't a benchtop machine is a drill, but I really do wish that my circular saw and scroll saw were cordless. Sanders and grinders are fine corded because of the frequency with which I use them, and I have a corded drill for really tough jobs though. Some tools are almost always air powered (like nail guns unless you buy Pasload), and that just is what it is.
