NYY CABLE vs Tuff Sheath -An alternative to SWA Armoured cables?

We've used TUFF SHEATH cable in some recent EV charger and lighting installations. Why did we use it? How does it compare to SWA armoured and how does it differ from NYY cables? We look at the key specification requirements from conductor types to current-carrying capacities. If you've used NYY or Tough Sheath in your electrical installations, then please add your comments. == ?
