10-14 is too much? I don't think that a good server has less than 50 plugins. You can install 4000 if you want and it will be the same as installing 1 poorly coded one. It's the quality that counts, not the quantity.

4000? 50? Less bro, very less

You need to know what calls are made by plugins, also what forwards is used.
IF you want to gain performance, you can split some plugins in one that can use same native/forwards than a lot of plugins.

AMXX itself is probably doing much more work than say 100 small-mid scale well coded plugins. Plugin count doesn't matter, install as many as you want. AMXX package is already shipped with like 20 plugins. As OciXCrom said, what's inside these plugins is what counts towards performance.

I always pick plugins from approved plugins section.They work good so it means there content must be good.Right?

Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that a plugin in the approved section is properly written. The fact that it is in the approved section only means that at one time it was reviewed by a human and allowed to be placed there.

It seems to me that you are being overly paranoid. Simply add plugins to your server and start playing. If you see issues occuring then you can figure out which plugin is causing them and then ask about that specific plugin's issue in the plugin's own thread.

If you want to try and weed out a known bad plugin, the only thing you can really do (if you are not an experienced scripter) is to read through the comments and see if any issues are reported that go unresolved.

Many times you will find better plugins in the "New plugins" section rather than in the approved ones. There aren't any active approvers, so nobody is taking care of plugins that should be approved or unapproved because a better version has been made.
