What's your MOB "throw to" of choice?
We had a Lifesling setup on our cutter and our new (to us) trawler currently has an old horseshoe. The HS is ratty looking and we're looking to replace it - Question is, what should we replace it with? I like the fact that the Lifesling comes in its own case and is protected from the elements, but that also makes for one extra step when deploying. I also think that a ring or horseshoe is also easier to deploy (throw). Any advantages to one over another aside from cost?
I realize that this can get as personal as "What's the best anchor?", but I am interested to hear which people prefer and why.
