    Having used both horizontal and vertical, I prefer the horizontal. The
    reason is that if you are pulling an anchor rode manually, the horizontal
    allows you to wrap around then pull up where you are standing. The verticals
    require you to pull pretty much straight out horizontally, a foot of so
    above the deck. PITA.
