[C320-list] Standing rigging - compression vs self fit

[Scott Westwood]

I have my own thoughts but open to hear opinions:Most standing I see is compression. Some reason for that?  I was just told the self fit type (such as Stay-lok) have more holding power and uses basic hand tools? Easy to do yourself. 
My instinct is to use what is most often used by almost everybody... and leave mast failure to professionals.
Anybody used/done/replaced their own rigging using self-fit rigging?
