3. I would say that 4 (or 6) is safer because you can now wear a HNR. Yes technically you can buy a HNR that attaches to your body and allows you to wear it with 3 point belts but you don't get held in the seat as well by the 3 point belts. Being fixed in the seat with 4/6 harnesses allows you to feel more info from the car as well as concentrate on driving instead of holding yourself in place. That to me is also a "safety" feature.

Let me start by admitting... I know very little when it comes to cages and roll bars but this one looks real nice, and doesn't seem to be getting a lot of love ??

This is a link to the thread on the 993 boards. That thread also has some very knowledgeable people talking about safety and bolt in vs welded and some suggestions as to good builders of cages/roll bars. Several of the long term racers weigh in.
The conclusions are not much different there, welded in done by an experienced person is probably better than bolt-in, but a good bolt-in is better than nothing (some disagree).
Unfortunately, there is some information, but there isn't a lot of data about what to look for in a bolt in bar.
