Is it sensible or stupid to put a swivel between anchor and rode to allow the boat to rotate around the anchor during tide changes, or stupid because its an added complication and weak link?

After hearing the comments on stainless steel in a salt-water environment, there appears to be many stainless steel swivels on the market, far more than the galvanised types. As a result of the anchoring survey, can we find out what percentage of members use stainless steel or others for their swivel?
