Thimble vs Shackle Splice

I'm putting together an all line (buccaneer 8-plait) anchor rode for a guy's Good Automatic windlass. Does anyone have an opinion on a putting in a thimbled eye versus doing a nice tight shackle splice? My leaning is towards a shackle splice but I want to hear your thoughs on the matter.
