Hello,
The tucked version is usually quite a bit more difficult, and is therefore employed when (a) the rope is constructed too tightly to allow a bury of the tail, tapered or otherwise, or (b) when length of the splice is a consideration -- the tucked version is much shorter. There are even hybrid versions.
Either version, properly done, can provide 100% strength. For your application, burying it is best. I like a long taper, and will put a Brummel in for shock-loaded items. Stitch carefully, too.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
