I personally prefer the Deeley latch as it draws the forend off the forend hanger draw when pulled, whereas the Anson and keyed forends do not, you have to pull. Not a huge issue of the draw isnt too tight. The Rigby does draw it up/off the hanger.

To improve upon the Deeley arrangement Id have a replaceable draw on the forend hanger/loop. Dovetailed in perhaps.
