The small one is what I'd use most of the time. I figure if I have a 50lb leader with a knot testing somewhat below that, and a still weaker mainline, something else will fail before the clip. So far that has held true. I use the small breakaways (and have had only one plug/fish twist itself off). I don't like, however, how the knot will often get off center with the breakaways and screw up the direction of pull on the plug's nose loop. I wish someone made a clip with a pinched upper section and rounded lower section.
