There are many different plugs on the market, but over the years, I have narrowed my use down to two particular plugs, due to their good looks and ease of use. The wiring principles of these two will apply to almost any plug out there, so don't feel obligated to follow my narrow minded plug path. :)

The insert of this 2-part Kwik plug just slides out. Super easy!
For SPT-1 cord I use the above Leviton brand's polarized Kwik Easy lamp plugs. But any 'easy' polarized plug will do. This style of plug works by piercing the outer insulation of the cord with sharp interior metal prongs. These connect with the Hot and Neutral interior copper wires, establishing a connection.
The insert of this antique style plug must be unscrewed to be removed. Still pretty easy!
And for SVT & SVT-B cords, I use Grand Brass brand antique style polarized plug with screw terminal connections. Due to having to strip, wrap, and screw in the wire ends to make the connection to the plug prongs, they are slightly less 'easy' than the SPT-1 plugs, but are still super simple to wire. :)
Note: It is commonly recommended to tie an Underwriter's Knot inside this style of plug to protect the wire/terminal connections if the plug gets pulled from the outlet by the cord. However, I find that there isn't always enough room inside the plug housing for the knot (with this plug in particular), so I just make sure to only use them on lamps that won't be getting unplugged often and that won't be for sale. Also, this style is shaped to have a 'handle', which makes it super easy to pull out without using the cord. Feel free to check out other old-timey plug styles if you want or need to add the knot.
