Are alot of people using pop up cleats, I would like to install a set but what to make sure they will hold up without any problems.

Don't worry about them. The Accon cleats are virtually indestructable.
The 6" models are good for a lot of applications.
eBay is a good source. Typically, the 6" cleats are about $80.00 each, but I bought one recently for $27.00.
Just be patient.

Attwood makes the ones for the Shelby Donzi and only require two holes, two VERRY large holes for the pop-up machanism. I installed a pair forward of the wind screen. I also made a stainless backing plate for additional reinforcement, which I found out later they sell and would reccomnd. They are durable and look great.

Interesting, any opinions on whether the Attwoods or the Accon's are higher quality?

Pull ups you drill 2 holes. Pop ups, require some delicate surgery. There are really good install threads on the site, if you search.........
The Accons do require a cutout. The backing plate comes w/the cleat and is used as a template for the cutout.
These things are very stout. The springs are very strong and definately make a statement when they pop up.

Lower maintenence to use the pull ups if you boat is in salt water. You have to stay on the oiling if they hit salt alot.
Both are great quality

I have three 6 " pop up cleats that I have left over. Call me and I'll make you a deal. I was just going to put them on ebay as they are new .I got them from Marinepart depot and they were $72.00 on sale for $30.00. I like them better than the accorn as there no screws on top. Stan 404-406-4700
I love them and the bling is awsome
I like the look of the pop ups a lot more than the pull ups. the pop ups are basically flat when down. the pull ups are above the deck, but smooth enough to not snag a rope.
I had pop ups on the Minx and now on my 28 ZX. They work great.
on a smaller boat I like the pop up folding cleat no cutting and no water issues a 3.5 or 4.5 is plenty
