My experience says they're better than any plastic plug and woodscrew type
fixing.


Mine tells me they're ok until the hole for them loses uniformity or the
brick cracks under pressure from tightening them and With a predrilled
template like a steel tv bracket you often need the holes exactly
positioned and have no way of knowing what part of the wall fabric you're
hitting until you drill. That's when it might be time to use a 'decent'
wall plug (like the basin hanging variety) and some Rawlchem (or other
polyester resin/2 part).

As I mentioned... It depends on wall- at the point you are drilling. Go for
the anchor bolts but have the other method on standby for disintegrated
holes.

Overkill doesn't worry me.


As long as it works
