Here I think that the strong current would be a accepted reason over shaky navigation, also the depth would come into play given a failure. A post failure in 130fsw would not be as big a deal to me swimming back to get my deco gas. A failure in 165 may prompt an immediate ascent from my position on the wreck.
Tide can be a huge issue up here as well. Changing current,vis, temp, ect. My favorite tech charter suppy's and hangs deco gas starting at 40fsw, that does not preclude me from carrying my own bottle as well. It is just an un nessasary risk to stage bottles outside a wreck IMHO unless team supported/expedition type diveing.
