agree. Xs Scuba on my jetfins also! thumbs up!
IMO, This is not as cut and dry of an answer as you think!
I stock XS Scuba & Halcyon. Reason being ... proper fit!
Put your fin on with what ever boot you will be wearing.
Take a measurement from pinhole and around your ankle to the other pinhole.
Once I have this measurement I see which Spring Strap will give the best fit.
I find that the lengths are different between the 2 manufacturers, sometimes the XS fits people better and sometimes it's the Halcyon that works better. The key is for them to be just snug. Some are too loose and some are too tight. Between the 2, I am able to give people the ideal fit.
If you need any help with this feel free to PM me or give me a call.

Another vote for XS Scuba .. they are very solid, and the mounting system (based on a screw with friction nut) seems to me more solid than a simple bent wire like in other models.

IF you really want you can make your own for around $10 and in 15 minutes. Mcmaster.com sells the springs, then you an buy some small Delrin for a couple bucks and use the existing pins on your jet fins. There was a good thread somewhere on here with directions. Just a thought.
I had Halcyon, they broke, I bought another pair and the plastic on two of them is shattered but I am still using them on one pair and the ones I got form a fellow scubaboard member on the other.
Also, it should be noted, Halycon did not stand by their product.

Keep your original straps (at least 1) in your save a dive kit.

You can make a few pairs for the price of 1 at retail.
