Barbed fittings: Good or bad?

Yeah, I was just going to mention that - the fittings on the Oil Filter bypass fitting are the same style that Zombywoof identified as "push on"; the other 2 fittings are apparently just "barbed" as identified by Toolman.

BOTTOM LINE: Are any of you guys using these things on your engines? Or are they just "convenient bullshit" and I need to work harder at finding more OEM inspired stuff?
If you do use the push on make sure you use the hose that they are designed for like dodge71demon mentioned. Geez guys, since when did a $1.50 hose clamp become such a issue?
