Stay-set is fine for me except for halyards. Particularly headsail and main. I do have stay-set for my spin halyard. It is increadible to feel the two side by side. The stay-set is SSOOO stretchy compared to the crystalline.
The sheaves are a v-groove and designed for either. I was warned that while they will work fine they will also "box" the jacket. They also need to be inspected to make sure the cable didn't chew them up any before switching to rope.
