Putting an eye on both ends of your genoa sheets is a good idea for when you
change your sheets end for end. Just make sure that the bulk of the eye splice
will still fit through a turning block if you are using them. Otherwise you
will have to disassemble the turning block to reeve the sheet th

My opinion, soft shackle release is highly unlikely. I've never heard of
one. Been using them for 4-5 years now.

Regular XLS would be preferable to Extra T for sheets. Extra T is a better low
stretch halyard line but tends to be rather stiff and holds a set when wrapped
tight on a winch.
Stretch isn’t as big an issue with jib and main sheets that get constantly
adjusted.

Agree with Dennis. Soft shackles don't release on their own though I've only
used them for the headsails for three continuous years. My genoa sheets are
both red, 3/8" maxibraid, after my last genoa was impaled by the spreader when
a very experienced and knowledgeable person crewing for me faile

Lots of thoughts on this one.
First, in the interest of candidness, I use 3/8" VPC with an eye on each end.

I have always been competitive using double braid polyester line for my main
and jib sheets, not going with the more expensive hi tech line. I use 7/16"
line because it's easier to handle than 3/8".
