    Preformed grips win every time. EASY to put on, fast to install, they 
don't loosen up, and you don't have to bend any EHS to do it. 

        Clamps - ugh. They're a lot of work and can loosen up. Virtually all 
wire rope users use grips these days.

    Clamps are generally clamps. The Crosby ones are the best and of course 
the most expensive. The ones you find at hardware stores are okay. Be sure to 
use a minimum of three per termination and of course the right size for your 
application.
