opinions-this is how my electrician wants to do the pool circuits

1. An electrician who bid on my pool electrical job said he would run THWN wire for the pool pump all the way to the panel. I thought the THWN pool pump circuit had to run to a junction box and from there equivalent romex wire is to be used for connecting to the circuit control panel.

Question: Can I have opinions on this. Can the THWN pool pump circuit be run directly to the panel? Is this ok to do or an issue?

2. The electrician also said the underwater light circuit will be a separate THWN circuit run in the same conduit as the pool pump circuit and all the way to the control panel, not to a junction box.

Question: Can I have opinions on this. I thought I read that this is ok to do for the underwater light circuit.

thank you - I am a homeowner who is doing this research to ensure the repair to my pool electric which stopped working two weeks ago is performed correctly and to code - trying to avoid issues (Town of Brookhaven, Long Island, NY).
