Spring straps are easier to use because you just put the fin on and slide the strap over it with no adjustments needed. It's less work I suppose and they're depth compensating to boot. You ever get down deep and feel the fin becoming slightly loose as you go down? Won't happen with spring straps.

Then there's the reliability issue, it's stainless steel and very touch in comparison to a standard strap.

I love my XS Scuba spring straps. Just make sure you measure out what size you need. There are good instructions on how to do it here.

Add another vote for spring straps. I actually use the ScubaPro spring straps for mine and love them. Just make sure you get the correct size one's for you though.
