Rawlbolts (or generic copies) are great in concrete or other strong
substrates but they can be unreliable in soft brick. And they fail
before you even load them in soft blocks. Plastic plugs are more
reliable in some substrates.

I used Rawlbolts for my dish (65cm, installed about 10 years ago and still
OK) because I considered 50mmx6mm screws a bit small for that size of dish.
This is on Rustic bricks - the sort where chiselling a small flat area helps
to get the hole in the right place - and they're fairly hard, judging by
cutting holes for waste pipes.
