Re-building my rack after some years without one.
General grit and classic mountain routes.
Which ones of the above would people recommend and why?

Thanks

torque nuts primarily as you need to carry lass to cover a similar range of cracks.

I have the DMM, I prefer them due to the adjustable slings - the one Rockcentric I do have is a pain to rack as the sling is too long on your rack.

Also the DMM ones have a really nice profile that cams well and seems to fit better than the Rockcentrics.

I reviewed them a long time ago for UKC http://www.ukclimbing.com/gear/review.php?id=2112 Basically if you are going for a whole set, if they are going to be main bigger crack protection, Rockcentrics might be better just because there are more of them, but if you are buying them to use in conjunction with some cams - so you are happy with just four - then the Torque Nuts are more flexible.

Dumped my Rockcentrics last year (never liked them as much as the original, but heavier, hexes) for DMM Torques which cam much better so yes, I'd say go with DMM.
