I never liked the idea of pulling from the shackle mount. If I break a tow hook it just means that I am still stuck but still have the possability to be recovered. If I break a shackle mount, unless I carry a welder, I'll be stuck on the trail with a very interesting problem. 
Twice I have seen someone winched using the shackle as the attachment point and the shackle was pulled right off the frame.
It does make for an interesting trail repair.
