Jason, it should be clear from my affiliation with Rocna what my recommendation would be, so I will avoid making it.
If you do a little more research you will find that newer designs will deal with a combination of bottoms very well. It is not true, as some will suggest, that you need specialist anchors for specific bottoms (although it used to be).
To start you off, you can find the two most comprehensive tests of recent years on our website under
"independent reviews" (SAIL and Yachting Monthly) which are up-to-date but focus on hardish sand, so raising the bar a little high in terms of setting ability (you will not likely find the
CQR quite as bad as they report, for example
).
Overall comments here.
This is an extensive review of the
Delta which is tested in grounds a little farther south than New England, but the bottoms are probably fairly similar:
The Delta Anchor- A cruising test report on the Delta anchor
Not a direct comparison with any other types, but since it talks about the
CQR you should find it interesting.
