One aspect that "may" be considered as a "forgiving" item is a nose
hook vs. a CG hook for aero-towing.

Wing drops, cross-winds, lousy piloting techinque, etc can be
magnified to nasty trips into the closest runway light when aero-
towing with a CG hook whereas a tow rope connected to a nose hook
"may" have the ability to pull you straight and away from expensive
trouble.

Of course, your mileage may vary...
