Taylor,

The type of anchor is highly dependent on the bottom condisiotns, e.g.
rock, coral, sand mud. Practical sailor has done extensive testing of
anchors in the past few years. In particular, they note how well the
tested anchors work on various bottoms, as well as the test conditions
(e.g. amount of chain, scope, pull forces, resetting direction tests
etc.). I highly recommend these articles.
