Default Camel Hitch To Attach Snubber To Chain

I prefer to use a Camel Hitch (Brion's version of the Rolling Hitch on steroids!) to attach my snubber to the chain. In storm conditions, I plan to use a snubber attached to my stem fitting at the bottom of the bobstay to avoid any chafe issues. My question is, does the above mentioned knot have the strength to be reliable in storm conditions or should I use a chain hook? I have a Bayfield 40 (23,000 lbs) with 5/16" HT chain. Thanks.
