Alan,
Old pictures of some pretty good clarinet players, like Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw, show them using a metal ligature with two screws - the kind of ligature that clarinet manufacturers typically supply with their products; e.g., a photo of BG is attached.
It's interesting that both BG and AS wrote "Clarinet Method" books but apparently neither of them deemed ligatures to be important enough to include a discussion of them as a major factor in sound quality, ease of playing, etc.
My choice of ligature (for both clarinet and two of my 3 saxes) is the VD Optimum, simply because I find one screw slightly more convenient than two. It looks nice too.
Hans
