BBB vs proof coil chain

I've heard & read that BBB does not tangle or kink as easily as HT or
proof chain. It's also a bit heavier per unit length so it might give
better holding power.

That's all true except holding power. In the kind of conditions
where holding power really matters, the chain will already be pulled
bar taught with virtually no catenary due to chain weight.

The overriding factor for me is safe Working Load Limit (WLL) and
ultimate breaking strength. HT chain is about double either BBB or
proof coil in those ratings. On the other hand if your primary anchor
has a holding power of 2,500 pounds, there is no need for chain with a
5.500 pound WLL.
