    I think I’m going to go with strings out of the db and strings into the db.
    Strings out will look something like:

    [Plan Handle] = '0x' + cast('' as xml).value('xs:hexBinary(sql:column("plan_handle") )', 'varchar(max)')

    Strings going in will be handled with dynamic sql (build a varbinary literal into the query).
