Safer in what way? Both would require the user to hold the wheel onto the hub lip prior to throwing a bolt / nut. If the wheel drops off the hub lip and your studs hold onto the wheel, the studs could / would scratch the wheel slightly in the holes. Ask me how I know....
And another reason I don't understand throwing studs on as replacements are the requirement of adding locktite (some studs such as MRG require it) - extra steps taken to ensure your safety on the road, vs cosmetic safety of the wheel.
I guess I don't see the pros over the cons. With that said my recommendation for studs are MSI or Motorsports hardware. Both are used in motorsports often.
