What's the best cotter pin type to secure
a turnbuckle?
I like to use an oversized ring type cotter pin. They still have to be
taped over (it's a commonly heard myth that cotter rings won't snag
lines) but they are easier to use and have longer useful life. Some
people I sail with use safety-pin style cotter pins. These are fine
but I think they are more obtrusive.
Agreed. Rings can be placed or removed without tools, whereas the split
cotter pins can't.

PS--Doug: Do you live in NC? If so, where? Or at least from what port do
you sail?
