Which HS has a better mounting system (as in ease of use, while at the same time safety?)

Alpha PAL8942
or
Swiftech MCX4000?
 
Well here is a link to the alpha, it looks rather easy to me and it uses the 4 hole mounting so it should be plenty safe:

Here is a link to the swiftech, it looks equally easy and safe:

If you are trying to choose between the two of them then I would try to find another aspect to make a decision on, they look to be pretty even when looking at mounting.
 
Thanks! I'll have to look closer.. I think they both have the spring-loaded screws.

Edit:
Yeah, I was trying to decide which to get... I like them both, but the Alpha seems to come out slightly on top (in performance). However, I'll be getting the Swiftech, as their documentation and customer service seems 10x better.
