The integral type are ok but if available I prefer the old type. You can buy the ferrules separately and reuse them indefinitely.

With respect again Mart. The ferrule is NOT only 1 compression point but 2. If you will just examine the picture carefully you will be able to see. It compresses the ferrule in two places just like a free ferrule. I could take one apart to show you but they are hard to come by and I do not want to waste one to prove the point.
