Well...The issue with the metal or CF battery mounts can be found during a big side impact. The plastic hooks are designed to brake during an impact to the side. I know this is not the answer you were looking for, but honestly I would either run the plastic hooks (which is what I run) or nothing at all.

I took the adjustable CF mounts off of my Tamiya for this specific reason. Now I just have two servo mounts holding the battery in place and it works very well.
