The point is not to wire it to a hot fuse or wire. I wired mine to the sunroof switch, but made sure
to splice it to a wire than only receives power when the car is on. ... otherwise you can drain your battery (trust me, you'll leave it on at least once).

The advantage is you don't risk overloading fuse 27 and tripping whatever system is on that fuse.
If you tap the 75x lug, you are basically tapping the main feed to the distribution block. Provide the necessarty fuse for whatever you are feeding power to and you should be fine.
And if you were planning to use one of those fuse tapping devices on fuse 27, don't. Those things are fires waiting to happen.

aesthetics and in some cases avoiding a fire hazard
I've seen two ways to piggyback a fuse...using an adaptor sold at most auto parts store, and shoving a wire into the hot side of a fuse and holding it in place with the fuse. The later is just asking for trouble, and at the very least, snaking a wire out of the front of the fusebox is a little unappealing. The 75X is a post designed for a ring terminated wires. If you wire it to this, it looks virtually OEM, and if you're grounded and fused the wires properly, you shouldn't have any problems.
