Clamp type is preferable if accuracy is paramount. I prefer the SLR adj gas block, which is easier to service and adjust IMO. All adjustable gas blocks will leak more gas, "than a standard gas block" if the journal size is of equal quality. Remember, an adjustable gas block can only restrict the barrel's port gas, it cannot increase it.. The quality of the BCG and gas system with the interaction of the buffer spring-BCG weight, will all come into play with regard to reliability...
I figured as much, and as I said, got access to to one. If I get a clamp style adjustable, dimpling or not?
