Using a NEMA plug lowers your maximum amps (40 vs 48), requires a GFCI breaker, and adds an additional point of failure.

You are going to want the $50 heavy duty charging outlet

not the $10 standard outlet

Breakers are going to be 100+ for GFCI vs $20 give or take a bit depending on your type of panel.
So $100-150 more for a less capable installation just to make it slightly easier if you decide to change something later.
Hardwire has some advantages: Enables a higher power charger than with NEMA 14-50 as 14-50 is limited to 40A charging. Also having a hardwiired charger could be one thing to mention if selling a house. It boosts home desirability.
That said, I have a NEMA 14-50 with a 32 A charger, only because this is the only way I could qualify for a rebate from my provider.

Would recommend.
I had high hopes they will improve the capabilities, but it's been over 2 years with no new features.
Hardwired over all options.
It qualified for the SRP rebate as well bringing down to about $150.

Since 2014, several dozen nema14-50 installs for friends and family.
All used the regular ( not heavy duty ) nema 14-50 receptacles
All work done by licensed electricians and passed code checks by the local jurisdiction.
None have had any issues.
I helped a friend out with his rv park and we did install the heavy duty receptacles there but they had the regular receptacles in use for at least a decade prior. No known issues there either.
Use the right 50amp breaker and the correct gauge of wire for the length of the drop is key for a proper install. Those are both places that the installer will cut corners.
