what type of hose clamps?

ok, so what type of hose clamps do you use - Corbin or the normal worm gear?  The Corbin gives the original look, but they were replaced by the adjustable hose clamp because they were safer.  Since the engine is out and /i have to reconnect everything including the hoses, now is the time to decide.

thanks for your comments!

I will admit I was a little worried about the Corbin clamp when I put them on 4yrs ago, no
problems since at all and thousands of miles, some people just plane hate them but done right
you will have little or no problems. Oh yeah get the Corbin pliers  :thumbs:

  Corbin pliers make them way easyer than when using normal pliers. Guess that was why I went with the worm style when I started to mess with car's when I was 18. Did not know about Corbin pliers. :-[

I still use worm type, easyer to find and one sizes will fit a lot of driffrent sizes. All you need to be is close to the sizes.

yep, I have the pliers but I'm trying to decide on original looks or dependability of the clamps.  I don't want a problem down the road if I can do something to avoid it now.
