    From what I have been told that the Bruces were originally designed to
    hold the oil rigs in place.

    The bruces will be better than the danforth. Danforths are widely
    recognized as a questionable choice for a storm anchor. vering a
    danforth requires the acnhor to break and reset. I'd choose a big Delta
    or spade as my storm anchor.

    I consider Danforth typs to only be appropriate as lunch hooks or
    kedges.
