I used Brad's method of securing my SPB when I picked it up from him and proceeded to tow it to the East Coast from Calif. Of course I checked the straps every time I refueled. At the first fuel stop the straps had stretched (they were brand new) after that we never needed to adjust them the rest of the trip.
The J hook with proper friction rap on the ratchet is definitely the way to go. This is the way the cars are shipped over the pond.
