Getting ready to hang a large HDU and aluminum sign on a block wall. The sign will weigh between 100 and 150#. It's going outside so anything wood or plastic would probably nor work so I found these aluminum French cleats. Does anyone know of a better alternative? Thanks https://stingerich.com/french-cleat/

Why cleats? Is that sketch from 2010 the sign that's going up? Will the wall have a stone veneer?
Personally I would go with clips, especially if it's stone veneer. That way you can make a template of the sign shape
hold it up to the wall and mark where the clips would go avoiding any spots that would have issues with drilling.
