Default Tow ring attachment?

Some operations attach both a Tost ring and a Schweizer ring onto the end of the rope where as others have a Schweizer ring on the end and a weak link to the Tost ring or visa versa. Has anyone had any issues when both rings were on the end of the rope?

Boggs,
It kinda depends on your splice. I have demonstrated to myself that the loose Toast-pair can get hooked around the Schweizer release; and then the release is no longer a release. Try it on the ground.
