Twisted dropper rig I use for kgw, it doesn't tangle easily and pretty deadly with a KL hook. Only problem are Puffers and lj's chewing on the line destroys the whole lot so I tie up 6-7 rigs as spares for each trip.

Why put snap at the sinker??
Why not just put a loop there and loop on your sinker
I have found that if you just put a loop, the line can wear through from rubbing the sinker eyelet.(especially common with cheap made sinkers, tha have burrs).
but i guess it depends on how strong your line is.

i personally use a mix depending on the sinker weight.

The snap's there so I can remove the hook and secure the rig to a rod guide when not in use.

This is an interesting video on method to get droppers to sit out and not tangle without need of three way swivels
