steam coils - F&T trap or thermostatic radiator trap?

Typically on steam coils is it best to use a F&T trap or a thermostatic radiator trap. Each coil is about 10,000 BTU's each.

I'd use an F&T
since it will drain condensate more quickly. If the coil sees outside air, I'd include a vacuum breaker so water won't be held up in the coil and possibly freeze.All Steamed Up, Inc.
