Stick with the barrier strips. Vandy uses them, claiming in some of their literature that they sounded best. True, they use gold-plated screws and contacts, but they are barrier strips. They have also used binding posts on some models, so maybe it doesn't make that much of a difference.
I think the basic requirement is having clean metal surfaces held tightly together to prevent oxidation.
