Do you really mean directly, or do you mean directly to a half-round screwlink (which I call a screwlink connection)? This may be wordplay, but if so, it may be skewing the survey.

Here's a couple scenarios to think about though:
1 - you are in an exposed location (ie don't want to remove harness) and you need your descender for a rescue, now!
2 - you are doing a pickoff rescue and things go sideways - you want to escape the system and get the hell out of there,
I know what system I would rather have.

I answered "directly" and meant that I have my half-round going through the eye of the rack. I assumed the other answers meant that there is one more link in the chain, e.g. "screwlink" means a 7mm oval maillion between the half-round and the eye of the rack. Perhaps there has been some confusion.
