Hi Jake,
I've done a tuck-bury on Spectra, but I didn't like it so well as just a plain long bury. The plain bury is just neater, since there's no ends sticking out all over. I lock-stitch per the manufacturer's directions, and I make sure to do it kind of loosely with stretchier stuff, so the splice has less chance of being distorted. All my latest shroud splices I've serviced over the lock-stitched portion with St Mary's hitching, and turk's heads aloft and alow. It might look over the top, but we'll see when I get the stick up.
NE Ropes likes the full-bury splice better than a tuck-bury, probably for the same purposes of neatness.
