Depends on if you are out for a boat ride or out to catch fish
I have never used them but that is mainly because it was highly recommended by one of the best Captains here in S. Florida not to use them for Swords during one of his seminars.
The only 100% way not to gut hook a Sword if you are that concerned about it is not to target them at all
If I remember right TD did some testing with blue sharks up north and let one eat it for a while and it still gut hooked the fish
With all that said it can be done just depends on how many you want to catch, and how many quick releases you want to have per night
