Default Bolt/luff tape with Foil, or hanks?

So this Hunter 33' was a liveaboard, everything on that end "works," but
it hasn't been sailed for a long time and when it was there looks to be
some slightly, um irregular items used.

Anyway, it doesn't have a roller furling, but it has a (foil)? on the
forestay with a guide. It only had one headsail, which needed repair, so
I'm getting used sails.

Getting to the point, should I convert to hanks? Does going up and down
in the foil damage the sail significantly? Is there some other
advantages either way I should consider?
