Default Bulkheads or uniseals for rubbermaid

Would it better to use a bulkhead or a uniseal on a rubbermaid container?

use a bulkhead the reason is with a uniseal you need somewhat thick walls for the uniseal to fit tight....

I have just used bulk heads on my Rubbermaid totes and they work fine. Most totes have a fairly flat side area to install a bulk head. Franklin I have a couple off sumps I made out of large Rubbemaid Totes and Bulk Heads.
