Ah! pegs! love them or hate them! There are just too many variables, in my humble opinion,to champion one type over another. The Outwell offerings are really only good in "perfect" conditions, never usually encountered.
You have to bear in mind all sorts of things before deciding, for example ground type (probably most important), size of tent, wind influences, time of year, amount of guying points, ice & snow, rain, drainage, length of stay, experience.
In short, you will never have the ideal set up but thats half the fun! Consider this... you end up in sandy, loose soil and you only have rock pegs with you and an axe with a flat side you use to hammer them in and there is an abundance of driftwood about....
....adapt and improvise, thats the name of the game !
