arigger- welcome to the site. I THINK I understand what differences you are talking about. The "s" brummell is typically considered stronger, though potentially less secure than the locked version. As an arborist, I prefer to use a locked brummell almost exlusively. (is "almost exclusively" an oxymoron?) The S version is supported by Yale Cordage. You can go to their site and see pdf's with directions showing that type of splice. For Tech 12, made by Samson, you can see on their site that they recommend a straight bury (no s curving, no locking). Good manufacturers will share splicing directions with the customers and users. It is a very valuable resource.
Are you near los angeles?
