What does the rigger world think works best for heat racing. Ski or rear sponsons?

Yes, true. I've been playing with this measurement on a couple of different hulls in the past. My width on the Ski is 1-1/16" and It equals out to the 1/3 rule. You can actually go wider, but I found that it works for my set-up. Width of Hull 1/3=Ski width..both can be made to work. I think it depends on ski width, and where the balance point on the hull is. It has to be quite a bit further back on a boat with a ski.
The ski on my AJM Rev2 turned out to be closer to 7/8 inches I think. Going to see how that bad boy works out.Yes, true.

The new SGX-2's no longer run the ski.If you look at the back of a SGX it has a ski and small out side ride pad along with a wing to push it down and also a out ward angle to the wings to help it run strait.
Seams this set up has it all.

OH SNAPMr. Hargett, first, I was not addressing you. Second, your opinion is based on assumptions and speculations. I was talking FACTS.You have no way of knowing what is on anyones mind or why they did something. You butt in on other peoples threads when the question was directly addressed to another person. You came on IW calling people idiots, stupid, zero skills, ect. I have not seen anything positive that YOU have contributed to IW.
Stay off of my threads.
