The bower is a 25lb CQR as you have. I also carry a 25lb Danforth as spare and a 15 lb CQR for lunch stops.
I have two 20m lengths of 8 mm chain - my idea was to use 20 m of chain and 30 m of 12 mm nylon with each anchor. In practice the mixed anchor rodes are a nuisance, so I have all the chain on the bower. My thought being that if I had to loose the anchor, I could unshackle 20 m of chain and still have 20 m and rope for the spare.
The lunch hook has about 1 m of chain and then about 10 m rope.
