Chocolate vs. vanilla, blondes vs. brunettes, safety thimbles vs. hooks - the debates rage on. I've decided I want to run synthetic line for my winch, but which termination do you guys prefer? I'm already raising a small army of D-rings, so those won't be a problem. I'm trying to think of a situation where I'd actively not want to hook up with a D-ring, and I can't think of any, but plenty of situations where the knowledge that the connection can't come out on its own would be helpful; plus a lot less flying mass on the end of my rope should the connection point fail for any reason.

So, what say ye?

 

I like Vanilla, Blondes and Thimbles.

 

vanilla, blondes, hooks.

 

Chocolate, brunettes, and maybe consider the ultra hook from Factor 55? Might be the best of both worlds. I'm a fan of all of their products. I would never go back to a regular winch hook.
