Frag mounting preference?

What do you prefer? Personally I hate the stone/ceramic/plaster plugs. I mount everything to live rock rubble.

liverock rubble is much more natural looking, usually provides more surface area for growth, easier to place and is easier on the eye.

I tend to use concrete plugs (cured properly) in my QT/growout tank for the most efficient space.  In my main tank, I mount the corals directly to the rockwork.  I have lots of leftover marble from the stand, so I plan to use that next.

If buying frags from someone I prefer ceramic plugs because those nasty algae's and pest can hide in live rock rubble. I break the coral from the rubble and mount directly to my rock.
