I run my lines from the side cleat to the ball and back to the cross beam cleat. Cuts the load in half on each cleat and makes it easier to tie off on each one. The crossbeam cleats I was told are fine up to 60 knots of wind. There have been some issues when people tried to get pulled off reefs via the crossbeam cleats.
One small point on the lines used for mooring. They should not be able to reach back to the props if one end fell in the water.
