Replaced my tent stakes with snow pegs after a windy night in Yosemite

I used to think all tent stakes were pretty much the same, but last September I camped at Upper Pines and a gust ripped two of my cheap ones right out of the ground around 3 AM. I switched to 10 inch MSR Groundhogs on a buddies advice, and they held solid through the rest of the storm without bending. Has anyone else had a favorite brand of stake fail on them in a specific place?

Wait @casey393, that's crazy, the whole stake just came flying out with the tent fabric still attached?
