Interesting... I heard the opposite. I heard that the wider ones gives more surface area and clamp better. My thermostat neck had corrosion on the clamping area and left "pot" holes. I attributed it to the narrow clamps and wrong radiator fluid added by the previous owner.
But this is a good question to find out what is right.
