Schuko lacks the fuse but other safety features are there and it’s much simpler, a bit smaller and can be plugged in in two ways. I’d go with schuko for the win
Schuko can have a fuse as safety feature (Schutzkontaktstecker mit Gerätesicherung), but you have to set the fuse below the fuse that’d be behind the socket (which means your fuse would be below 8A if you want to be safe, though because 16A fuses are more common, so a common fuse to actually be installed is 10A).
In most cases, the fuse is just in the device itself rather than the cable. Ideally then that fuse is also replaced easily.
The most important bit: SchuKo are recessed, hence they hold up the plug itself instead of having it dangle. Also this prevents funny business with the prongs.
SchuKo!it’s way superior to the rainy place thing.

“funny business with the prongs” is a great band name
