Case savers, what kind?

So a search on case savers says that it is a 'must do' for mag cases using aluminum cylinders, but I couldn't find anything on what specific kind to use.

My "Nuts, Bolts and Fasteners" book by C. Smith says he likes the rosette type best followed by the keen-serts, then time-serts (I assume this is the case savers that everyone installs), then finally heli-coils.

Both the rosette and keen-serts have a physical lock (rings or pins hammered into the case) against rotation, but they were kinda before locktight, so having a time-sert with red goo is almost as good.

Thoughts please...
