Input on 3 budget clip side quick draw biners

I'm looking to replace the biners on the side of my draws which I clip into. I bought the bd hotwire 8 pack to start leading on but I have since realized that I far prefer bent gate to any sort of straight gate.

I'm looking at 3 budget bent gate biners to replace it withe 2 solid gate and 1 bentwire.

The biners are

Mammut standard bent gate
http://gearx.com/...-gate-carabiner.html

Camp orbit bent gate
http://www.gearexpress.biz/...mp;Product_Code=6785

Camp orbit bentwire
http://www.gearexpress.biz/...mp;Product_Code=6967

For my sake weight is an absolute non issue. The only thing I'm considering with these is how easy it is to clip on them.

My big question is how do bent wire's compare to traditional bent gate in terms of clipping ease. Specifically a design like the camp bent wire where it is notched outward at the bottom

Let me know if you have any experience with any of these biners

edit: I'm leaning towards the mammut classics. Anyone know anything about them? I can't find anything online

Thanks
