When and if I get around to it I'll report my findings.
I haven't had to clean the anode much since changing to graphite (although the electrolyte gets very black, very quickly) - works just as well, as far as I can tell, either for electrolytic rust removal or in an anodizing setup. I use arc brazing rods and strip all but an inch of the copper coating with ferric chloride (for etching PCBs), leaving somewhere to solder connections, much more reliable than clamps and clips.
