I never had the patience to follow a thread this long before. I'll probably

Only two posters attempted to answer the question:
BB pointed out that who handed who a line may be a point in salvage
questions and liability issues;
DSK pointed out that it depends.
Thanks to both of them for their answers.

Is it more prudent for you to give your line over to a boat you're going
to tow or take his line?

Just to add a thought.
I'd know the condition of the line (size, age, past usage, wear,
construction, etc.) of the line I would be passing and considering for
usage, so I'd know what I could expect from it.
Whereas, the line from the other boat would be an unknown quantity and
quality.
