Swage or Himod fittings

Which is the best way to go for an offshore boat with 3/8 and 5/16 rigging? Swage or Himod/Stayloc/Norsman fittings. Cost and re-use point toward the Himod fittings.

Thank you - CodeZero

I have the swage fittings, but if it ever reaches number one on my list, I'll be fitting the Norsemans or the equivalent. 'take care and joy, Aythya crew

I leave toward the reusable type

My boat has a mixture of swaged and removable connectors. I have only added a couple of Hy-Mod (sp?) connectors myself so far and found them to be relatively straight-forward to install.
