The compromise question is the increase in weight of the anchor and chain in the bow versus reducing extra weight to avoid impacting performance and handling underway.
Considered larger weight anchor and more chain but it seemed too much weight and would not fit my existing bow roller. The setup I landed on is the Rocna Vulcan 15 (33 lb/15 Kg) with 90 ft of chain and 200 ft of 8 plait 5/8 rode on a lewmar pro windlass.
This system worked great up in Maine this summer. Anchored 5 out of 11 nights. Being in sand and mud with 7x to 5x scope and a good distance from neighbors meant no drama. It only blew over 25 kts one day.
We had a similar ground tackle discussion not too long ago. I believe the Ultra, Fortress and the Spade got some mentions.
This chat has reminded me to revisit the question of a second/backup anchor. Not sure I am ready to go full Kevin Boothby and get an old school fisherman yet - ha ha
Anchor windless and anchor size
I think I have posted SV Panope has an extensive anchor testing channel in the past.
This recent YouTube from Practical Sailor was interesting:
