Call me old fashioned but I like the look of a regular coil. I've never
tried the figure 8 method or even seen it done so I don't know if it work
for a hanging coil.

You're old fashioned :-)

Looks aside it works very well and hangs just like a regular coil.
And it does have a better chance of running free after being dropped
off the cleat than the round coil.

I climbed rocks before I sailed much, but learned the figure 8 from
sailors.
