Not sure how much research you want to do, but here's one of the videos I watched when I was on my quest: https://youtu.be/l59f-OjWoq0 In the last ten minutes or so, he goes into which he would keep and why. (For those not wanting to watch, he keeps the Fortress as a stern/rowable anchor and a spade for his bow. He does admit his choice is subjective, though, as the Mantus is the "fastest and most reliable setting anchor maybe in the world" but that it doesn't "look beefy enough" and the spade "matches the curves on [his] boat.")

As for rocks with the Mantus, I've never had an issue. My guess is it's the same as any anchor with a point/points.

How do the fortress or mantus handle some of the rocker anchor sites?
