I kind of wondered about this topic before. The Dutch clips do look pretty cool, but in all honesty it takes, what, 3 seconds to pull the tree strap through the loop? I know, though, that this obsession is ultimately about gadgetry etc, so I guess I get it!

I use 1.5 in webbing with sewn loops. I normally pass one end through the webbing loop and a mini carabiner as a no-hassle toggle. With whoopies I had my hammock and suspension to 7.65 oz. I like the mini carabiners.
No Dutch clips or biners for me. Straps and whoopies work just fine. Fast, easy and elegant. Why clutter up your rig with more stuff?
From my experience dutch clips do make it faster because my slings are connected to my huggers(nacrabiners-removeable for sap issues). So i just wrap around the tree and clip. You have to wrap around the tree, tie a marlin spike, then pur your sling over it correct? Wanna race?
