I will caveat the **** out of this as this might be over my head, and I've had more than a few drinks, but, if the cotter pin is steel, and a solid pin is steel, if both are getting a load that are below there respective break points, does it even it matter what type you use? If it does not, does it not make sense to then use whatever is cheaper?
