I think it's most important to have an out-of-band resettable switch/shifter/mux -- something simple, like a PCA9543 -- in front of any pluggable port, or devices that are known to be problems.</p><p>If you can manage to be able to switch power to the potentially unreliable devices (and your mux/switch tolerates it) that's great too, but often not necessary.</p>
