We've only used the nylon ones, been excellent in all the various ground we've pitched on. Occassionally bent a few due to stones - but they just go in and hold.

I'd like to know about this too.  I think most people go for the nylon ones as the steel ones are a bit expensive.  However, I like the look of the steel ones - if you are going to get something like that, may as well go the whole hog ( I like things over engineered for the application  - a sort of belt and braces approach)

I use plastic ones for my awnings,if your worried about hidden stones underground,take a 10 inch wire peg and put it in where you are going to put the delta in at the same angle,if it goes in then the delta will,if it hits something hard just try another area a few inches away, 

you can order from here,I did and got them next day,10% discount for UKCS members.

We just got some. We, in the end got a mixture of 8 steel and 12 nylon ones. The steel are more expensive but I reckon that they will last a lifetime and could prove to be very useful if we ebded up at a campsite with extremely hard/stony ground. Once you have arrived it is too late to get different ones. We have overordered I think even for our large tent but they will not go off and will give us many years service.

Having experiedced extremely strong winds last year we wanted the security that all the reviews say they give a tent, which is of course are our biggest camping investments.

I was having this debate with my husband he says steel I say nylon, so i might buy a few of each.

Ordered thirty of these last night, hopefully be here before monday for my few days away next week so i can test them out. :)

Forgot to mention i went for the nylon ones
