I find most Ti stakes and almost all aluminum tubular stakes to bend far too easily in hard packed soils.
My peg of choice is the MSR Ground Hog stakes: http://www.rei.com/online/store/ProductDisplay?storeId=8000&catalogId=40000008000&productId=12276843&parent_category_rn=4500663&vcat=searchrefine
They are bomber and hold extremely well due to their increased contact area. Now, a peg that holds this well in compacted soil, can be a bear to remove, but the MSRs have a cord attached to make removal easy. With the Red colour, they are hard to miss and they are relatively lightweight at .71 ozs a piece.
Not cheap @ $1.95 each but worth every hard earned penny!
