Personally I'd go for the horseshoe type. Infact I have. Id be cautious of the stainless screw picking up (if it is even stainless as many of these are made using a carbon steel screw (making them pointless). This sort of thing is better suited to hose clamp use.

In my experience mikalor clamps are pretty strong . Quality regards to stainless obviously depends on who and where there from .
I presume you would be using them for two pieces of pipe sleeved together ? In which i say there perfect for :)

They were cheap at £2.50 a piece, the screw/nut is mild steel, if you have stainless screw/nut you will find they strip threads and break.
The Mikalor clamps are high quality, better than any U bolt shite, plenty of copper grease round the threads will keep them rust free
