making crawler harnesses

I was thinking of tying some harnesses for the upcoming season, seems like a good way to kill some time.  I did some reading here and found some good information on everything but the clevises.  Do you guys use the stirrup type or the folded type and in what size?
 
I was looking at the stamina online catalog and was overwhelmed with all the components.  I'm thinking of just getting a few hundred 6mm beads in various colors, some size 4 and 5 willows and colorados, and not quite sure about the hooks yet.  Probably some 20 or 30lb. florocarbon for leader material.  That should be enough to see if I like doing it or not.  Let me know if I'm missing anything.  Thanks for any advice.
