Default Fairlead or Hawse, which would you prefer ?

The Hawse is Delrin... if that earns it any added points

Which would you prefer... and why ?

Hawse. It's simple and flat out works. Bumper shown in your picture - using hawse gives you better approach angle rather than the one with fairlead.

Rollers are old news. They are fragile, bigger, and not needed unless you run steel cable.
