Brackets vs Mud Rings

So after the big hunt for Caddy-style sheetmetal brackets to mount the plates on the wall....the homeowner tore the wall down to put in better insulation.

So, with new drywall going up, do we have the drywaller put the Caddy rings...or put in a code-type steel mud rings?

I would put in "new work" mud rings. (nailed to a stud) And you should do the work. If you rely on the drywaller you may not get what you are looking for. If they install the mud ring at the wrong hight it will reflect poorly on you. Nothing worse then a telecom outlet slightly lower/higher then the surrounding electrical outlets.

I like Caddy's MPLS mud-rings. They work great and are easy to use in new and retofit work.
