Box anchor for me! I've held 3 large boats off mine at the same time with no problems. Only thing I don't like is when you are pulling it up it most likely will be loaded with silt and will weigh a ton. You have to dip it multiple times in the water to clean it off. This can be a pain if your trying to pull anchor and get under way when it's windy and trying not to get blown into something or someone. If this happens, I usually will just bring it up to where it is just below the bow and dragging in the water. I'll idle out to a safe spot and then finish pulling it up. By then it will have cleaned it's self off. The plus side is you don't need a chain for it to work, and it will stow away on a small area when folded up.
