Personally, I don't like the standard hose clamp for anything that is critical. If you tighten them down to their maximum ability. All it takes is a good bump and it'll strips out the teeth on the strap. You might as well have left it loose to start with.
What we use on the paint rigs for street stripping at work is what is usually used on marine exhaust hoses (T-bolt clamps). See link below......
Westmarine sells these and they can be tightened down too tight in some cases. The source where we get them is half the cost of Westmarine. They are from 1" and up. The down fall is that you must get each clamp reasonably close to the size you want, for the adjustment does not have much range and if they are too small they are very difficult to get started. Most of them come with a standard 1/4"-28 SS nut. I usually install a nylock nut for extra security. I have all my exhaust fittings without barbs with these clamps and unable to pull them off. As well all thruhull fittings over 1".
