kidsdream:I guess I am in the minority, but I do use a snap coil similar to the item pictured in your link, but I use the one with the metal snap bolt.
I don't find it gets in the way. I attach it to the ULCS mounting brackets for the handles on my Subal housing
Be careful of those snap coils. One of my friends picked one up and it came apart (where the coil meets the snap) during a liveaboard trip. Fortunately he had the camera in his hand at that time. It might have been just he got a defective one, but... I used one on my old P&S+strobe setup and would frequently clip it to my left chest or crotch strap when I needed 2 hands (launching a DSMB, deco'ing on a line, etc)
