The Oneway Stronghold are the best it has a 5 to 1 clamping ratio. For
smaller lathes the Talon is next. The Stronghold is pricey but you get
what you pay for. It can't be beat.

I have both the Stronghold and the Talon.
I use the Talon more often, simply because the majority of my
things are either bettter off with a recess of 52mm (Talon)
instead of 62 mm recess (the Stronghold). For turning between
centers I also seem to prefer the Talon, simply because it has
less mass, and is easier to stop.

But, for the heavier work, the Stronghold can probably not
be beat.
