Ford makes 10 models of car. Which is best, most robust, etc...?
You've asked one of the many questions to which there is no one solid answer.

I've been using the quick glove on my White's drysuit for the past couple of years. I initially liked it, but now I find that getting the seal just right between the glove and the suit is annoyingly frustrating. I've had too many dives with wet hands due to my inability to get the seal seated properly, or something (namely the glove liners) getting in the way of the o-ring seal and encouraging a little leakage. I'm thinking very seriously about moving to the QCP system for 2 reasons: (1) don't have to remove the permanently attached cuff on my drysuit to change systems - going to the Antares system would require new hardware on both suit and gloves; (2) the ease of locking the glove to the cuff with assurance that the seal is properly seated without the possibility of my liners interfering with the o-ring.

I don't have personal experience with the Antares system, but have read (here and other places) that they fit smaller hands better than larger hands, and that the glove-side of the clamp can be fragile (saw someone go from a planned dry glove dive to an unplanned wet glove dive while gearing up in the parking lot at the dive dive site last weekend).

Cheers,
Craig.
 
A number of my dive buddies have the Antares system, their advantage is that they are low profile but their disadvantage is that the tabs are rather fragile and can be easily broken off. They also do not fit wider hands. My own experience with the Quick Glove is that they can be difficult to put on square and if they are not square the o-ring tends to displace and you end up with leaks. I switched to the Glove Lock system which is easier to don correctly but has the disadvantage of being rather bulky.

Si Tech quick glove they say
"Change the wrist seal in minutes" you've got to be kidding my fingers are bleeding trying to get wrist rings apart until I got the proper technique down, so like everything scuba practice makes perfect.

Viking bayonet system is simple to attach to wrist cuff, easy to attach gloves to wrist ring and very durable.
