The base decides how your delineator behaves

Arch loop delineator posts are identical; the base is the decision. The 8 pound base is lighter and faster to stage, ideal for parking lots, campuses, events, and short deployments where crews move posts constantly.

The 12 pound base holds position in wind, truck blast, and higher speed traffic, making it the safer default for highway work zones and anything exposed. Forty one seconds here settles the question for your application.
