I can speak to the virtues of both these gadgets, as I am using both to attach my Bruce Gordon racks to my Raleigh International. Bruce uses flat-steel rails to attach his rear rack, and advocates the better-grade Nitto P-clamps (and includes them with the new racks...but really, ecch. If I have a nicey-nice rack, I want the whole thing to look nice. So I replaced all the stock attachment widgets with Tubus rails/clamps/swivel mounts/extenders, and I'm much happier.
The sizing of the Tubus clamps is a little more appropriate to steel tubing - not like the "close enough" of P-clamps. I've had much more secure attachment since I went to the Tubus bits, and a lot less noise. BikeBagShop.com also sells Tubus attachment bits. They have rotating 10% off specials on most of their product line throughout the year; Tubus and Ortlieb normally come up together, about 2-3 times a year.
