Default 'Eye' vs 'T' toggle turnbuckle differences?

I'm wondering what would drive the decision to use one of either 'Eye' or 'T' toggles? For example the TFB or the ETFB toggles from Hayn - http://hayn.com/marine/rigging/tfb.html. They both seem to offer two degrees of freedom, is one better suited for certain applications?

Default Eye vs T

There are many things to consider when making a choice like this , but structural strength comparison may not be a big one.

I would think that durability and long life may be more important , depending on your expected use , and or, place of use .

I am a little curious as to the look or shape of the eye , as it reminds me of the eyes used on aircraft , not marine eyes .

I am not favourable to "T" headed stud terminals especially forged or fabricated from SS , but I do mix SS and bronze successfully , like a bronze toggle and a SS clevis pin .
