I was wondering if there are any unforseen problems with using trigger snaps? Since most of my diving is done wearing bulky 5mm gloves, SS trigger snaps are much easier to use. Comments? Thanks

Thanks for the picture and clarification, Jon.
These are almost as bad, though, as suicide clips in that they will release automatically with the slightest pressure.

They absolutely don't. They're used on telemark skis and snowboards as retention devices. No amount of pressure - until the snap breaks - will cause the hole to open. You have to exert about as much force on the lever to open the hole as you need to exert on the knob on a bolt snap.
And the lever needs to move quite a bit for the hole to open - on a bolt snap any movement will open it.
