Spirits are great for racking and most other uses.

Neutrinos are a tad bumbly in hand, but reduce the overall rack size and weight. I avoid using them in belays. They're especially bad when doubled with another biner in a powerpoint - the gate can easily be forced open by the biner it's paired with.

DMM makes an equally light biner, with a larger gate opening. Damn things are pricey though.

I just bought a bunch of Omega Pacific D-Ovals. They are about the same weight as Nuetrinos but have a bigger clearance and oval shape (good for aid climbing). I have big hands and aid climb a fair amount so they are better (and cheaper) for me then Nuetrinos.
