If you are using a GFI breaker, there is no issue to use wire nuts and a splice. I wouldn't use braded wire. It doesn't like wire nuts and solid wire and braded wire doesn't like to be put under a screw on a recpt. Go with solid wire, as others said, twist the solid wire before using a wire nut. If you are worried about the nut comming lose, there are wire nuts used on appliances that crimp on. Should be no issue, any current leak because of a splice comming loose, should trip GFI.
However if you are using a GFCI recept, hope you have enough cubic inches to use wire nuts. The GFCI's take up a lot of room.
In Indiana, the only thing the building inspector looks at is your ruff wiring. As long as that looks good, they sign off.
The way I look at it is if your splices are inside an approved box, you are good to go.
I've yet to see a NEC cop snooping around my place or here of an NEC cop handing out a ticket. So if this is an add on recpt and no inspector, you are good to go.
My advice is only worth what you are paying for it. LOL
