Shock Cords: All 1280HDs or mix with regular 1280s? PA-12 with 18 landing gear.

My 12 has the 1935 gross weight increase.
She also has the PA-18 landing gear.

It is time for new bungee cords. The old ones were two 1280s on each side.
I was wondering if a mix of a regular 1280 and a 1280-HD on each side would wok just fine or not.
The place that is the least distance from me is only carrying 1280 HD-CW ( cold Weather )
But I am wondering in two HDs on each side might not be kinda stiff. I am doing lots of instruction and tail-wheel endorsement stuff.
So lots of crappy landings per week.

What says the peanut gallery?

Training aircraft take a whooping! Get the HD ones the upside is if the student bounces you can always claim he needs more training. All students need more training so it is a win win for everyone.
