As long as it is a certified USB-PD cable, there should be no difference.
USB power delivery cables usually do not have thunderbolt/usb3 lanes, so they can be quite thin despite having two big wires for power transfer (plus one thin wire for power and polarity negotiation).

Do NOT buy the RavPower USB-PD charger, as it's proven to negotiate power wrongly and with this laptop is at great risk of catching fire.

For those of you looking for a UK USB-C charger, this works great. It also has 4 additional 5V USB-ports to charge from which is quite useful:

This has only 1.5A output at 20V, so it will charge the XPS at half the speed (like the Ugreen one).

Yes, its a personal preference. I prefer lower charging current as it is less harsh on the battery wear.

Has the issue with Energy tab on Activity Monitor w/ 10.12.4 been resolved yet?

Am postponing the upgrade for now as the Energy tab is quite oft used...
