Strip: Footpegs: which?

I'm thinking of putting adjustable pegs in my Shooting Star. I've been using foam blocks on the bulkhead, but now think that having something I can adjust while on the water would be a good thing for adapting to changing conditions of wind and wave, cramping, whatever. I also want to test, as I'm thinking of a future build.

So: what do folks think of these?

The Sealect pegs are a well-known design (formerly Sea Dog), and have garnered good reviews. Harmony I know of as a budget-oriented equipment maker, but I haven't seen their pegs before. The pads look a little small, and the whole design less robust.

I appreciate all thoughts! Thanks in advance.
