What is everyone using for hose clamps?

I have always used the ones from the Autoparts stores that are usually made by Ideal. The last couple of years or so it seems they are not made quite as well or the same. They don't seem to stay as tight as I put them. I have this problem on my Mustang and on my F150.

I bought a set of the OE Wittek (tower) clamps over 20 years ago, and they have held up very well. I have replaced the hoses in that time, repaired the heater, and had the radiator out maybe a dozen times.
