Which soft shackle is better

All the soft shackle is braided by one uhmwpe rope. Every factory has its own way to deal with the end of the shackle. Usually we cut the end of the soft shackle with heat cut machine. There is also one way that braids the end of the rope to the shackle itself, as is pictured below.

Which one is better? There are different answers. According to our experience, if they braid the end to shackle itself then bind with some twine or heat shrink tube, the shackle will be as good as the one which heat cut the end of the shackle.
