If you're going to be anchoring in mud, unless it is really oozy, soft mud, the anchor that is consistently rated the highest for holding in mud and sand is the Danforth and it's lightweight lookalike, the Fortress.
The anchor that is consistently rated at or near the bottom in terms of holding is the Bruce.
If you are going to be encountering a variety of bottoms including bottoms that require the anchor to penetrate first before digging in and setting, my own opinion is that the rollbar anchors are the best--- Rocna, Sarca, Manson, and Bugel.
And Bob is correct. There is a ton of discussion in the archives on this subject.
