For micro-adjust seat clamps, Thomson is the gold standard. Once you tighten Thomson clamps up, they stay put. As long as the modern look (and the price) is tolerable, they're a safe bet.
Unfortunately, Thomson has cut back on the range of options they offer under 27.2. They used to offer all 0.2 increments between 26.0 and 27.2 in both straight and setback, in both black and silver; but they've eliminated 26.6 in silver, and they've eliminated 26.2 and 26.4 completely (commonly used for French road frames). The size shift was only a few years ago; you may be able to find the discontinued sizes on eBay/CL. The Thomson setback posts are weird-looking, but they work. The setback is from a bend in the post, rather than in the clamp. I rode one on an undersized VooDoo frame that I'd converted to 700c wheels; the seatpost was solid, but I eventually stripped the frameset down for something larger.
