I like this:

I especially like the wood clamp.

However, my thought is that students should have a ligature that fits the mouthpiece, doesn't crush the reed, is easy to adjust, and won't break. I'm sure lots of pros back in the day played on the $0.99 rusty metal one that they found in the case. Benny Goodman used his sideways. My saxophone professor wanted us to use the stock Selmer one. I used it. It worked. I sounded good. But it didn't fit right and crushed the reed.

I just think that if I were a student, I would like something nice but inexpensive, would make my life easier, and that would be more like what I would be likely to play down the road. It's more about ease of use than sound production.
