The bottoms have been mostly sand, clay, or grass. Under these conditions I suspect that any style anchor would have performed just as well.

Bigger is better if you have room.
You can get a good Kedge if you want. They have many larger too.

Kingston Yachtsman anchor 38lb. OVERSIZE! This item exceeds standard freight size limits. Additional shipping charges may be applied to your order at time of shipment. The yachtsman anchor is more dependent on weight for holding power than the plow once it is set. It will hold tenaciously. This has earned it an excellent reputation as a storm anchor. It is a good anchor where others have difficulties, in rocks and heavy weeds, and is less sensitive to low scope. This is a great advantage in tight anchorages. Made in Canada.
