My current trailer has bunk boards on which the bottom of my 16 ft jon boat sits. I'd like to add guide ons but which are best, bunk style or roller style or post style? Any feedback?

The rear one is the first that would go under water. When I load my boat, I put that rear top corner about 1-2 inches above the water and the front top one is well out of the water. I can glide mine slowly up to about 1.5 feet from the roller. I step off the bow and get down to hook the strap and it pulls up very easily right to the post. Easiest loading setup I have ever had. Whether I'm going electric only or gas makes no difference. The bunks are plenty high and it loads easily.
