My first router plate was the cheap and now distinct HF which had the snap in which I didn't care for but they worked. I now have the Kreg plate that uses the twist lock method which I like. Ever since a pc type template guide came loose and hit the bit at 15000 rpms I stay away from metal when I have a choice.

PS
To solve the problem of the template guide coming loose get a "Spring Washer". I don't use a template guide with out it. I prefer the Spring Washers rather than wearing a diaper.......
