If you've search this site I'm sure you found many of the great threads that address this issue.

...And the majority? of those threads and posts are in favor of pigtailing. I personally prefer pigtailing (switches, too.) Just for the simple fact, that if you have a break in the wire at one receptacle all the others are not affected. But "Daisy chaining" also has its advantages. If you want to give Ground fault protection, in a daisy chain connection, all receptacles that are "Downstream" of the first one are protected.:yes::no:!

How do you pigtail a switch?

When you're dealing with Two or more switches, some electricians like to take one long wire (feed wire) and skin off the insulation where it meets the power side of each switch. The other method is "Pigtailing" (not the exact term) each switch and twisting with a wire nut to the "Feed".:yes:!
