I am installing a new 20A outlet circuit on the garage shop with a couple of 2-gang boxes. I do not see a need for all 20A outlets, may be half and half. I would assume there is no code issue with doing that. May be the savings in cost is not significant and I should go with all 20s.

It would be rare for something to have a 20 amp cord cap. No need to split since the 20 will accept a 15 amp cord.
