Default Thoughts on Stacking LR

Hey guys just wondering your thoughts on stacking live rock, i have always done the traditional stack and hope it doesnt fall. What would be the best way to go? let me hear some feedback!

PVC structure makes for better stability and you can create some really neat formations and arch ways. It takes longer to setup, but is woth it in the long, imo, because you dont have to worry about it collapsing and falling over.
