Tri-Clamp Mounting Preference Survey

1.Images for reference.
2.What do you brew on?
3.Do you prefer NPT or Tri-Clamp fittings on brew kettles?
4.On our Tri-Clamp BoilerMaker™ G2, BoilerMaker Surface™, and BrewEasy™ Compact, we typically provide a compatible Tri-Clamp port, thermometer adapter, and clamp & gasket in addition to the standard NPT mounting parts. Then, instead of mounting the thermometer into the kettle, you mount it into the Tri-Clamp Adapter which clamps onto the welded Tri-Clamp port. 

That said, what is your preferred method of mounting the temperature probes and thermometers to our Tri-Clamp Brew Kettles?
