Both the standard cinch buckle (Dutch) and the Warbonnet/AHE style have been extensively used. Both have proven themselves and it is simply a matter of personal preference as to which one to use.
Having used both, I prefer the DJ 101's that Dutch carries.
With the DJ 101, if you use an amsteel (any rope) continuous loop to attach it to the hammock, you need to put enough wraps on the buckle to fill the space so the loop stays centered. The AHE style has a V shaped area to attach a rope so this is not a concern with it.
