It's one of those topics able to start a flame war.
Some people have a strong opinion against flip locks in the field and praise twist locks. There is some merit, I admit. Twist lock mechanics can be dragged through the "wilderness" with less effort. Flip locks will catch gras, twigs (etc.) easily.
And the plastic clip is one of the items prone to get lost in the field.
