Is a lever or prong buckle better?

Reviewer consensus

Reviewers note levers are faster to lock and unlock and deliver consistent tightness, which several r/StrongerByScience and r/tacticalbarbell users praise, but the lever screws can loosen over time (Loctite is a commonly suggested fix). Prong buckles are more adjustable day-to-day for fluctuating waist sizes but are slower to cinch.
