I use both a rigid vang and topping lift. The problem is furling the main in a seaway. When you lean on the boom for support to put sail ties on as the boat rolls and pitches, the vang won't support your weight and swings to leeward while getting lower. Even cranking on the sheet won't help. Unless you're racing at a fairly high level, belt and suspenders is my recommendation.
