Default Hidden Deck Fasteners

I am building a cedar deck which will be about a foot and a half off
the ground (hard to work underneath). I have been debating using
hidden deck fasteners instead of screws and wondering if anyone had
suggestions. I have been looking at the Tiger Claws and thinking
that they might be better to use considering that I can't really get
under the deck. Deckmaster looks pretty good as well. EB-TY looks
like to much of a pain to use and too many steps to go through for each
piece. Another thing about the Tiger Claw is that is spaces the boards
for you as compared to the Deckmaster.

Does anyone have any suggestions, comments or evalutions of the
products I mentioned above.

Thanks

They all seem to work on the same principal, the biggest concern would
be how much shrinkage will you have in the width of your boards and
will the fasteners still hold?
