Typicallly, I uas a combination of Eastons and Ti shepards hook. Depending on the shelter, I try to place the Eastons where the most holding power is needed, then use the Tis for other guylines and floor anchors. My choice does vary, depending on where I'm headed and which shelter I'm toting.

I used to think the MSR needle stakes were unbendable, then I bent several on one trip (luckily, none broke). Live and learn.

Cheers,
