Any particular recommendations?
In many ways it is much like a parachute, fire extinguisher, liferaft or insurance policy. Nobody wants to be required to use it, but prudent people plan for the rare exception to the norm.
What is best? Go with your judgement and training, and make no mistake, training is always the most important part of the equation.
Avoidance is always best, but sometimes fate has other plans.
