it was an answer on a thread here in Peachparts.com (as I remember). The thread might have been about oil leaks or something like that but someone posted quite a long and informative paragraph explaining the differences between types of clamps and why they were used.

I was impressed back then - might have been a couple of years ago, maybe more - and wanted to take another look. I had always thought the geared clamps were best for everything but changed my view after reading his input.

For example you should use constant pressure clamps on the plastic neck of the radiator to keep from busting it when you overtighten a geared clamp. Interesting info like that.
