Pat Goss from Motorweek made a very good point about the jubilee, worm-drive, or screw-type clamp. He said the spring clamps apply even pressure around the hose, while the screw clamps have a pressure point under the screw which can crack plastic connectors over time. Makes a lot of sense. When you think about it, these things are heating and cooling all of the time. You really want a clamp that can expand or contract with the heat expansion or contraction of the hose and plastic connector. Personally, I'm sticking with the spring clamps that came with the car.
