I have come full-circle.
Where once I gleefully flung spring-clamps into the trash, replacing them with cheap (but American-made) worm-gear clamps; I now replace worm gear clamps with, at minimum, expensive worm-gear clamps. My favorite spring-clamps are the style used on my Trailblazer's radiator hoses--they lock open when squeezed hard enough, then "pop" the lock to clamp them around the hose. It absolutely could not be more simple or elegant. Downside is that I have no idea where to buy a variety of sizes aside from researching OEM applications at the GM dealer.
What I find with typical, non-shielded worm-drive clamps is that the hose cold-flows under and through the clamp slots, and then the whole mess leaks and looks like this:
Which is why I almost never use unshielded worm-gear clamps any more. As shown in the photo, for typical 1/4", 5/16", and 3/8 fuel hose, I use "fuel injection" clamps that don't damage the hose as much.
I've come to respect Oetiker clamps on silicone hoses. I suspect they'd work fine on neoprene hose, but I've never used them in that application. The Oetikers are hateful in terms of sizing--you'd need an inventory of every size made; because unlike worm-gear clamps, the size range per part number is very limited. I used to install heaps and piles of silicone elbows, and just getting an elbow with a slightly different wall thickness required the next size larger Oetiker clamp. Note that you've probably used a different version of Oetiker "stepless" clamp if you've put a boot on a CV driveshaft. Many CV boots are retained by a crimped Oetiker.
These are screw-tightened. Once properly sized and tightened, they'd last forever, leak-free, and without hose damage.

My Oldsmobile has Constant-torque Breeze clamps on the cooling system. Expensive, but like the Oetikers, they don't come loose, they don't leak, and they don't damage the hose nearly as bad as non-shielded worm-gear clamps. They use belleville springs instead of coil springs. Unlike the Oetikers, they've got a generous size range per part number.

I used the "T-bolt" style clamp pictured in a previous post. I had a lot of trouble with them--specifically, they were one-use clamps. The nut would seize and gall the T-bolt, so once tightened, you couldn't remove them. We installed a lot of them on 5 or 6 inch diameter air intake pipes with rubber boots connecting them together. I suppose the clamps were 6.5" diameter or so. We never, ever tried to anti-seize the threads. That wasn't on the Bill of Materials, and it wasn't an approved procedure according to Engineering...so we didn't do it. Maybe that would have helped.
V-band clamps are wonderful for air piping and perhaps automotive exhaust. They require a special flange to be welded to one of the pipes, the mating pipe can be flared to match. The clamp then covers and secures. The downside of course, is that you have to have the special flange and flare installed before the clamp does you any good.
