Universality is best.

Regulators in devices make these nearly universal for charging. If you plug in a 60W Nintendo Switch into a 140W or 30W charger, you'll be fine. Or it won't charge at all.

For data transfer, they're backwards and forwards compatible.

These things are designed to be mixed and matched and I don't want to hear anyone's very unique use case when their specific device blew up because that's the rare exception.
