Planning to use these (or similar) in a Din rail enclosure to extend some cables:

Does anyone have any thoughts on whether the "spring" type are better/worse than the screw down type?
My initial feeling was towards the spring type, but i'm not really sure why, and talking to a guy at work he said all the ones they use in our building are the screw down type and that he prefers them. He also pointed out that you need a screwdriver to operate the spring type anyway, so theres little/no efficency gained by using the spring type, and they can be more fiddly to use.
