Circle hooks. I use Gamagatsu Octopus Circles in either 2/0, 3/0 or 4/0 depending on what I can get away with. Just about any other similar hook will work too.
I use spanish sardines almost exclusively for mangroves. To me, they're easier to handle, the chunks are uniform and half a sardine hides a hook well. I don't use live bait, but that's just me.
