Thomson would be superior because it features a barrel nut on the thread side which can rotate so that force is applied to the threads equally as the clamp closes.
Are you sure you didn't over-tighten the clamp? -
Goes completely against strength over weight savings but I've been rocking this for over 4 years now and it's been great so far. Even gives bonus points for carbon

After 4 years of use being the sole owner of my Vigorelli steel, the light weight seat clamp that came from factory in the box finally failed. It happened without any creaking sounds to indicate anything out of the norm. Maybe the cold weather of late combined with a preference of riding more seated in the wet. I guess Thomson would be the forever replacement... Or are there any other recommendations? I am favoring strength over weight savings.
In defense of the stock clamp, it had a scuff from a standing fall a few years back.
