Is this a trick question? If you don't include factors that are against
heavy gear, what you're left with are the factors in favor. Yes, in
general, with two similar designed anchors, the heavier/larger will hold
better.

The point is that, if you start including 'factors', you start comparing
apples with oranges. To make a valid comparison, you have to compare anchors
that are within the practical weight-carrying range for your boat.
