Pros: Blow-off? Spunding? Something else?

Totally. I actually never used one (or even knew about one) until i moved away from fermenting in a plastic bucket. I always used an airlock. Never had issues with blowouts.Um I'm feeling a little left out here... I've never used a blow off tube. I feel brewing life may have robbed me of some unforseen pleasure or maybe not
I only use one now because my fermenting vessel has a blowoff cane. Much easier to attach a hose than buy fittings to make it point up, just to use my airlocks.

only blow of hoses for me, if not enough pressure to push out the tube it just carbonates the beer which is fine

That’s exactly what I do. The 1/2” silicone tubing fits nice and snug, and I put the other end in a Star San filled water bottle

After having a couple of fermentation eruptions, a started using a blow off tube. I use a silicone bung with two holes in it, one is for the blow off tube, the other is for the thermowell that controls the inkbird. When it is time to add dry hops, I switch to a 3 piece air lock, and tape the temperature probe to the side of the fermenter.
