Thanks for the link but those don't really get me the look I'm going for. Those appear to be the shape of a standard pop up but with the attachment style of a mushroom. I'm looking to minimize the on deck visible hardware. My reasoning for using two of the double eye pins at the stern and amidships is that I can have one with a finder attached and one with a single line attached for normal use but would have the ability to attach two other lines with half hitches etc from other boats or docks. In the case of a gas dock we'd just pull out our fenders and attach their lines to the open eye on the fender pin. I hope that makes sense.
I'm really just trying to confirm they are strong enough to hold the boat under normal conditions. As for the gel destroying missiles that's just a matter of who's operating the lines...

As far as having your bumpers at a "standard height" for all docks... it just doesn't work out like that. Not all docks are the same height.
I've been a gas dock attendant for almost 10 years. I've tied up every boat under the sun and, in my opinion, the push pin cleats are often troublesome.
