MSG_ONE or MSG_ONE_UNRELIABLE?

Hello,
I am thinking about those two destinations. Which could be better in the case when I am setting a sprite icon to client?

Code:

message_begin( MSG_ONE / MSG_ONE_UNRELIABLE ?, get_user_msgid("StatusIcon"), {0,0,0}, id )
        write_byte( 1) 
        write_string( "number_1" )
        write_byte( 0 )
        write_byte( 255 )
        write_byte( 0 )
        message_end( )

This message is called inside Ham_Spawn Post func.

MSG_ONE will always send the message, but could cause a crash if too many messages are sent.
MSG_ONE_UNRELIABLE will not send the message if something is wrong.

Use unreliable if possible. You probably won't notice when it fails. If you use reliable then the one time that it does fail, it will be very noticeable.

Too many messages in the same time or in the same channel?
