GoBar deck or long reach clamps?

I'm about to start my first glue up of bracing to an OM top. I can either build a GoBar deck or make some deep reach clamps. Which option would be better and why?

I have used both long reach cam clamps and go-bar deck for gluing on braces; both worked for me. I now mostly use the go bar deck. I find it is more tolerent when gluing in a curved form and one can do more braces at a time as the clamps do not get in the way of each other. The longer the reach of a cam clamp the less the clamping force.

There is a big advantage to the go bar deck as you can use the concave disk to assure the proper curvature. I used all kinds of clamps and my tools of choice are the go bar deck or vacuum bag
