I've used bucket forks like the ones shown here, and have found that they are rather thick (so not so good on broken-down pallets), and being two feet farther from the hinges due to the bucket, their capacity is somewhat reduced. And they do flex the bucket. I also found they moved around a bit. For light loads, or if you have a pin-on bucket, or if you are budget conscious, they are likely OK, and are exceedingly cheap! But I needed something more solid, and only paid $450 or so for SSQA forks from Titan, and use them all the time, with the bonus of a 2" receiver on the thing.
