It depends on how calm your slip is. Some slips are in well protected marinas with little current, wakes, and have good wind block. Other slips are quite active with the boats constantly bouncing around. I would only use the 1/2" in a fairly benign slip.

Currently sitting at the harbor in Mackinac Island. The harbor is alive here with ferry boat wakes and other traffic. Could see a set of lines not lasting a season here.
