I don't like the Kubi system, and my understanding is the ovals are the most comfortable option, but I'm happy to be proven wrong by someone who understands this better than I
It is not the sitec ovals...they are not a dry glove system....they are a wrist seal retention system that is also used as a platform for mating a dryglove ring system.The actual Sitec ovals are the worst dry gloves I have ever had. 0/10 would never recommend. I switched to the roclocs
Yes the actual glove side rings are the Antares which are designed to mate with the QCS system.It is not the sitec ovals...they are not a dry glove system....they are a wrist seal retention system that is also used as a platform for mating a dryglove ring system.
What you are actually referring to. Is the sitec Antares dryglove ring system which was designed to integrate with the qcs oval wrist ring system.
It is agreed by most that the Antares is a horrible dryglove system.

Just scratch those off, they are stupid and have a miserable leak to success ratioSi-Tech Antares
Si-Tech Virgo
Waterproof Ultima DGS
4th Element Ellipse
Rolock 90
The dryglove ring systems listed above are not cross-compatible with the 60910 (QCP) ring system.
Hmm, sorry you had a bad experience, but the suit side oval rings are quite soft, I bet even if you were even a full 90 degrees out of rotation you wouldn't get a leak past the silicone seal sandwiched between the suit ring and dryglove system. All the glove systems other than Anteres force the Oval suit ring into a circle instead of an oval and I've never seen that to be any issue.Think about an oval ring trying to mate with another oval ring. Any rotational mismatch means a leak. I tried the ovals, worst experience, back to SiTec round quick lock. I don't cave or tech dive so no big issues, have used them for years, very happy.
