Thinking of installing a plastic 12 x 12 box and entering it with PVC conduit connectors and nm metallic squeeze connectors.
Would the metal squeeze connectors be alright. Or should they be bonded. Or should I scrub the idea and install a metal screw cover box instead. Thank you.

They need to be bonded. Can you find some non metallic NM connector to use instead? Entering with a metal raceway could work if the raceway is bonded elsewhere, but your connector is pretty isolated and will not pick up any bonding elsewhere. You could install bonding bushings or other bonding devices if you are set on using the connectors you have.
