What's the best carabiner for the Squid Stick Clip?

It seems that the squid doesn't work well with many carabiners. I love the functionality of the stick clip but I cannot find a carabiner that works well with it.

Has anyone found the prime carabiner for the squid?

All of my draws have the BD positron straight gate carabiners on them. I have used the squid for months and I have never had an issue. One of my climber partners has BD hotwires and the squid has worked great for those as well.

Most Squids I've used are half broken. I know it would be wasted money, but the Superclip is a lot easier to use, and it doesn't break when it's dropped. Maybe it's worth buying one?

Petal spirits work well for me, Adam.

Yates Super Clip is a superior product in every way. I'd spring the cash and switch, rather than buy new biners.

Durability, ease of use, price - all better in the Super Clip.

Just throw away the stick clip and buy cams.

The large version of the petzl ange is by far the best if tried.
