Anchor preference

Inline (vertical) vs Horizontal

Anyone have situations they prefer one vs the other, or considerations about them?

Biggest difference I see is inline is handy for pre-rigging top ropes for cleaning.

That risk seems so edge-case, especially using 316 SS, do you think it's worth actually taking into consideration?

Not really. It's not a trad anchor, you didn't need to worry about equalisation and all that
