Tank clips? Your favorite kind?

I posted about this in the snake forum too. We are getting a snake and hubs hates the idea of using the tank clips because they're "too difficult" or "too much hassle" really he's never opened a tank with a proper screen on it that had tank clips though. Anyways what's your favorite kind? Some input would really help.

When I had snakes years ago I had two different types of screen tops, one top sort of locked down over the outside top rim of tank and the the other screen top had sliding tabs that sort of locked the screen in on the inside rim of the tank. I didn't like either one. Neither was really secure enough for a crafty snake.

The snake we are getting tomorrow. She's a Brazilian rainbow. And while I've never cared about what kind of clip holds down the screens, he used to get yelled at whenever he wanted to hold our old roommates snake because "he was gonna lose the clips" it was stupid. Anyways. They had there's setup with 2 screens overlaying eachother so it wasnt the easiest to use. Ours is a middle hinge screen lid with panel covers on it to help contain humidity and heat. I was just thinking we'd buy the regular clip onto the side of the glass clips and he started complaining so I promised to seek out whether or not anyone had a favorite style.

I've consider doing like a lock setup glued to either side to keep her in but allow ease of handling.
