Default radiator hose clamps

Can somebody recommend a good clamp for the lower radiator hose?

I did maintenance on my tc by changing the lower radiator hose with an autozone brand hose. To my surprise I couldn't get the OEM clamp onto the autozone hose and I guess it's because the autozone hose is slightly bigger than the OEM hose. Thus I was forced to use the worm gear /screw type clamp. 3 months after changing out the hose, coolant started to leak from where the hose connects to the radiator. I'm sure it's the clamps fault because these worm gear/screw clamp loosen itself over time.

My experience with autozone parts have not been good. Unless the part is simple to remove and install, I don't recommend autozone parts. I have to do everything twice because I would have to switch out autozone parts for oem parts.

either the standard worm gear clamps or t bolt clamps. Dont know if t bolt clamps are used often on radiator hoses though...nevertheless, either will suffice
