[ST] Hose Clamps, was: Fuel quick disconnect redux

Two questions on clamps:
1. Why use a crip type clamp? Easier in the manufacture process?
Higher quality? Why?
2. Anyone know of good source for decent quality dorm drive clamps that
are curved up on
the edges (so to not cut into the hose)? I've seen them on bikes
I've bought used, but never
seem to be able to find them.
Thanks
Andy
