Evergreen plug seedlings vs bare root?

[northern buck hunter]

I have planted thousands of bare root seedlings with good success. Just wondering if anybody has done any planting of plug type seedlings? Cost is slightly higher. Do the seedlings take off and get established faster? Any noticeable difference from bare root?
Thanks for any advice in advance.

I plant plugs almost exclusively in MN, with a few bare root oaks and apple trees.

Great survival, easy to plant. Many, many positives!
