It's a good question about the humboldt or conventional causing the log to skid forward more. To me it seems that the more level (or parallel) the log is when it hits the deck, the less it will more after impact. For this spar, I thought a humboldt would keep it flatter. If the stump could have easily been cut lower (too burly/flared) then I may have used a conventional.
I wasn't at all worried about shockloading on those few pieces...I did tie a few off closer to the middle.
I often sort of tailor the magic cut to whatever I'm cutting, I think I posted a pic of the way I commonly do it but by no means is it the only way. It's often a cut I use for larger diameter wood (works fine for smaller stuff too) so a narrower face makes the cutting easier/quicker. I'm sure an open face would work well.
