Default Bolt in Roll Cage vs. Weld in Cage

As the title says, I'm looking into purchasing a roll cage for my car after my wife found out that I bought a Vortech kit.

My question is, is a bolt in cage even worth installing or is a weld in the only way to go?

Also what kind of cages do you guys have in your cars? I want to go with a 6 point.

Weld In all the way. And get a chrome moly cage - at least 6 point. Talk to Cajundude for an awesome cage!
