I agree about all-chain rode, and don't like high test because of it's
relative light weight. I have BBB.
I do like the snubber and have had no problems with it, but perhaps it
depends on the boat.
While it is true that a stainless part, such as a swivel, will damage steel
anchor gear. But the slot problem can be fixed by simply installing a nut and
bolt in the space you don't want the shackle to go.
We do end-for-end our chain when the links rust so much they don't fit the
wildcat anymore (they get farther apart). When this other end doesn't fit the
wildcat, we get new chain.
I also set up my chain so I can cut the bitter end on deck. I can also
unshackle it below decks. Have a fender handy to tie on to the chain so I can get
it later.
I do like the Bruce, had a 66 lb model, now have a 110 lb.
