Like I said if there's a good reason, and in my book "everybody does it this way" or "we've always done it this way", aren't good reasons.

I am from Croatia so I can inform you. Here, most of us are using petzl stop and petzl simple or some variation of those. You have no need to vary about that somebody will think that you are strange or whatever. The thing is in case of accident ( hope not ) that, as far as I know, everybody here know how to move wounded caver from rope with stop or some version of bobbin descender. This is technique that we learn and tech here. The rack is not common device for caving in Croatia. I would recommend you to take stop, but as guys sad take both and you can decide what to use when you talk with cavers here.
Have a god time, and I hope you are in good shape. You will need it.

It looks like you guys eat (and drink) very well while underground.
So Trooly, have you been to Lukina Jama? How about Velebita?

True. Nothing to shame. It is multi day trips to caves like Lukina, Velebita, ..... and others. So little decadency is not a sin.
Hope to catch it this year. Maybe I'll be there at same time as you will be. Hope to meet you any way.
The tables on my web site give the size and weight of several descenders (and some other things).
