Best type of fuel line clamp?

[outboardnut]

Hi Everyone.
What kind of fuel line clamps do you think are the best? I've used just regular hose clamps that you turn with a screwdriver for years.....but now I think maybe they are not the best because the can back out a little.
What kinds do you think are the best?

I use the tie straps sold at the Johnson-Rude dealers.They have a radius type end on them that is designed to put even pressure on the fuel line.
Regular tie wraps are not good.
They usually sell the straps for about 15 to 20 cents each.

I know about the difference between the BRP fuel line zip ties and generic ones, but once, about 5 years ago, I had to use whatever I had on the shelf (cable ties from home depot). never had a problem - never bothered with with the OEM tie straps after that.

Under the cowling that is. Main fuel supply line I use the screw-type if I don't have the originals handy.

I use fuel injection type clamps from the local parts store. Even pressure and doesnt cut into the line.
