One other note that I'll mention here: Just because it's an H-beam doesn't make it inherently stronger, nor does the opposite hold true for an I-beam. In most cases, I do not elect to run an H-beam rod because they're usually heavier. If I do run an H-beam, it's something like a Molnar rod, which is extremely light due to a narrower beam.

One of the strongest rods that you can use is an I-beam (Oliver)!
