Back in the days of the backside, I always just thought havin your reel taped on was a badge of a "sharpie". Have tried it and didn't like it simply as sometimes it would almost feel like the reel was going to fall off. And it was a major PIA to change or take reel off to service. Plus made it tough to take reel off when leaving in truck. Would rather have someone thief just the rod rather than rod and reel. I used to use the fuji clips, but since my second hand custom rods all have the twist on reel seats, that is what I use now. Feels very secure when swimming and I have never felt that I loose any sensitivity as opposed to having the reel taped directly to rod. Sense of peace of mind.
To each their own............
