Jay,

Solid #12, while unlikely to have a break in the wire, can. Stranded,
due to construction of the wire, is not subject to the same possibility.
I've actually (in pre-PV days) had a piece of Romex that had a
discontinuous conductor in it. Worked when the Romex was bent a certain
way (ends of conductors touching internally) but not when left in
position. When commenting about my misfortune to a large electrical
contractor, he said he saw that not infrequently.

Also less likely to nick the insulation on a stranded wire, since it
pulls easier through the pipe.

Jeff
