Nails vs Nail plates

Hi everyone,

Is there any advantage to either? I have a framing gun from a shed I built so nails are an obvious choice, but just wondering if there is any benefit to nail plates? Seems they'd be a bit more fiddly to me, but perhaps they're a stronger connection?

Is it worth nailing the frame, squaring it up and then adding a few nail plates last if they strengthen it up a bit??

Cheers
