As far as bungees go they look good. Catching one of those in the eye looks to be less painful than what happens with a rusty steel hook.

I pretty much switched to light-line years ago. Shortly after a large bungee broke and hit my hand so hard I couldn't use it for a couple of hours. I still have a mark. Light line is cheaper, stronger, more adaptable, longer lasting, and far less likely to spring back and take out an eye. But bungee cords are quick, dirty and there is no need to know how to tie a knot. Different strokes.
