Which is a better placement of the electrical receptacle at a kitchen counter--in the backsplash where the counter meets the backsplash or in the underside of the upper cabinet behind the strip lighting?

We have ours under the cabinet. I like it there.
With backsplash placement you will be moving things out of the way every time you need to plug something in. Higher is better.
Since it's an outlet won't you need an electrical box ? Have you given that thought, will you pay to have that installed in your wall and would you want to have that hole it will leave in your cabinet? I say leave on wall unless you have wiring done it's just the receptacle you will still need a box to house them,wouldn't that take cabinet space?
