The righting system and trap returns shouldn't conflict. Most of the H16 sailors I know have both. Matt's suggestion for a righting line is good, but the Hawaiian is great for crew as a chicken wire, or if you're lucky enough to get a Soloright, they are great for the solo sailor when righting the cat. To get the Hawaiian line while standing on the hull in the water, reach up and grab the closest end, then pull out all the slack, and while holding on with one hand, so the bungee doesn't take it up again, throw it over the top of the hull and grab it on the other side. Then you can pull it down and use it as you wish. Good luck!
