As far as I can see, the routers do not log the exact command (that is:
"the string the user has entered") to TACACS, but "what the router thought
the command was".

So if I type "sh run", the TACACS-Server will log "show running-config",
and I'm fairly sure that this translation doesn't happen in the server
(because we use a very old copy of the Cisco freeware TACACS+ server, and
this does happen as well for lots of commands that have been introduced
years later, so the server cannot possibly know about them...).

This means that the choice of server won't have an effect here.
