Craig Smith is on a distinguished road
Anchors are a good idea, if they're well over-sized for the bottom type and intended scope. Obviously a proper anchor is a lot better at its job and more efficient on a weight-for-weight basis than a simple mushroom or any dead-weight mooring.

With a lighter mooring spread over three units, they're also much easier to deploy and later recover and move.

The downside of course is cost.
