Six years ago I installed stainless duplex rope clips with
a thimble on 65-ft Rohn 25
(see https://tinyurl.com/bn4zjm49)
and have had zero problems, no slippage, no breakage.
The duplex clips work better for the simple reason the pressure plate
and shell have a much larger contact area with the rope than the U-clips
do, without the excessive crushing that you're trying to avoid.
