For those that use there hitch receiver with an after-market tow point,
Is it best to have the type with a hook, or the type that uses a Bow-shackle?

Whats best?

I've never liked the ones with hooks; yes they are cheaper but for a reason. Plus I don't wan to have the hook get deformed from pulling or coming off.

This is what you need, hands down.

Yea !
That's what I thought.

I figure if you use a strap on a hook, there's a good chance of damaging/tearing the loop.
