For multiple 15A outlets like that you can run a 20A breaker and #12 wire. For the actual outlets you can pigtail from the #12 with #14 wire to the outlet for easier installation. I would run #12 even with a 15A breaker so it can be upgraded easily.

Run your 120V branch to the LINE side of a 120V GFI unit then go from the LOAD side on to the other outlets. Using a common neutral circuit seems to sometime promote false trips with GFI units.

I don't particularly like to run dual breakers either.

I would not recommend pigtailing on a 14 gauge wire if you have a 20 amp breaker. The wire can burn up before the breaker trips.

You wouldn't have to wonder if you read what I had posted. You come into the discussion at the end, and you question motive, when it has already been clearly stated. Is it that difficult to start reading at the beginning and come up to speed before you start typing??? My receptacle is grossly offended by your calling it a "*******"... It has a better pedigree than you do, and it, unlike you is UL listed!!!!!!!
Sorry I offended you or your plug ins, if I had known they were that sensitive I would have been more careful. You are right, I didn't read every word of gibberish in this thread, but I knew there just had to be something I was missing when someone wants to cut off the standard factory plugs and put on something different especially when there is no obvious benefit. Those would be acceptable for specialized equipment meant for dedicated circuits.

Damn........ you didn't offend me, nor did you offend my plugs and / or my receptacles. I was just in one of my grumpy cantankerous moods, and wanted to have some fun with you. I can always tell the new guys on the block, because they take everything very seriously. Stick around for a while, and you will learn that all us old guys just like to have some fun picking on you new guys.. After a while, you will be one of us, and can join in the fun of hassling the new guys... :lol_hitti
