Or is it ok to just run the romex tapered to the wall to the receptacle from the junction box with its own shielding?

Play it safe since it's going to be exposed. With offset fittings, couplings and pull elbows it not difficult to install conduit.   bobk Citizen Username: Bobk Post Number: 4825 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Saturday, February 28, 2004 - 11:47 am:        This has got to be the most violated part of the electrical code, at least here in MW.   NRL Citizen Username: Nrl Post Number: 481 Registered: 8-2003 Posted on Saturday, February 28, 2004 - 1:31 pm:        Conduit it is!
