Baker Precision has a whole line of clamps that have the threads crimped into the strap rather than punched, this keeps them from chewing the hose. I am using them on my intercooler couplers with wonderful success and they are much more affordable than the band or marman type clamps.
From the website:
The type 304 stainless steel clamps carry a LIFETIME Warranty. Formed from a tube, the worm housing increases the strength of the hose clamp by 30%. The radius of each housing is adapted to the hose diameter.
The rolled -up band edges prevent it from cutting into the tube. The stamped threads leave the inside of the clamp smooth and eliminate friction between the hose and the band thus the clamp will seal completely over 360 degrees. Thread engagement gives strength and reliability thus the square threads of the screw are rolled and those on the band stamped. The 6º thread pitch angle results in a vibration resistant hose clamp.

This frist shop I went to had Aeroquip but they didn't make a fitting like the one that broke. There was another local shop that had XRP. I got the last one. My car would have been stuck for a while if they didn't have that.
