Treble hooks for livelining

What do people think about using treble hooks for livelining?

When we used to snag bunker and let them run , we used treble hooks. they are extremely effective in terms of hook up to strike ratio. When we liveline herring though which we catch , put in a tank then rehook and liveline , we use single point live bait hooks. The hook up ratio goes way down . I use the live bait hooks since i think they result in less injury to the fish which we mostly throw back. A lot of meat fisherman (commercial pinhookers) use treble hooks. They are far more effective in my opinion.

I'm curious as to what most guys use and why. Do you use the same for herring as you do for bunker?
