Quick release spring bars?

For those who change straps often, do any of you guys use quick release spring bars? I've never tried them and was just wondering if it'd be easier and as reliable/secure. I think I would change straps more often if I didn't have to mess with the spring bar tool route, lol.... First world problems, but I'm lazy.

If so, is there a particular brand that is recommended or they all about the same?

I have liked the OEM that come with fp journe (curved)
and patek but I have not liked the after market options I have tried.

partly because the springbars are not perfectly matched to lugs of watch compared to OEM, also the slot in the straps to accommodate the tab have been poorly constructed.

I love the screw-down bars on my Pam560. Feel they are far safer than springbars when in the ocean. In my mind springs are more likely to fail than a whole screw-bar becoming undone unnoticed…
