Hey Dan, it may be more custom than you are looking for but I have had great luck with this type of clamp. It is only a one time use but clamps very tight and barely visible. It is a shrink type and semi hard plastic tube that you use a heat gun to shrink. Comes in a variety of sizes and available at most automotive parts stores. Pictured installed on lower radiator hose at radiator and joining the heater hoses.

Those Breeze clamps look like a good one for a worm gear style. They specify ALL stainless, which 90% of the parts store clamps are not anymore. The worm screw on most are not stainless and will rust quickly.
The Tridon clamps only say the band is stainless...
