Before you make the final decision, have you considered the Sarca Excel..?
SARCA in Action - anchorright.com.au
You'd need about a no 6 Excel ie 30kg = 66lb.
For you vessel one of those would be ideal, and they have the reputation of being quick setting in virtually any bottom, and ultra hard holding as well. They are designed for those boats where the anchor shank comes up through the pulpit platform. See their performance on the Anchor setting videos thread if in doubt. They are now available in the US.
FWIW, I have been very happy with my Sarca Excel. It has failed to set only once in the last year and that was on a granite shelf. Every other time it has set fast and been solid.
