Default Mushroom cleats vs push pin style vs ?

Looking for something low profile or pop up to tie bumpers to. I have pop up cleats and like them a lot but they are not big enough to tie off to and tie a bumper on. Just looking for some feedback from those using them on what works best and some links to good products. Would prefer stainless but billet is acceptable too.

Very, very happy with the Livorsi's. I bought the smallest size because they are only for fenders and they do the job perfectly. Ingenious design to allow water to run off.
The only thing I would advise is to perhaps buy a size or 2 larger for aesthetic appeal.

I prefer pull up cleats too.

More durable than pins.
Versatile to both hold fenders or spring line moor.
Finally, you don't have someone stabbing at the side of your boat with a metal pin creating chips or scratches.

The push pins are sweet looking but you do not want to step on one! My buddy had them on his Baja. The fender was shoved under bolster bracket I accidently stepped on the pin. I limped for a week.
