https://www.screwfix.com/p/schneider-electric-thorsman-fire-cable-clips-for-twin-earth-cable-1-2-5mm-silver-100pk/767gv  are a bit pricey, but they satisfy your demand for good workmanship. If the cable is on view I'd go for those. If it's not (eg above a ceiling), then go for the banding. I've used it with no qualms. A woodscrew buried 1 1/2 to 2" into a joist is not going to collapse prematurely.


if it's a 'bunch' of T&E's, the band is the way to go. Good fixing into stuff that's not going to melt. (check what kind of wall plugs you're using if 'upside down' ... a normal rawlplug with a 2" screw won't fall out even in a fire if on a vertical wall, but if hanging from a concrete ceiling, more thought needs to be taken)


Don't forget to take into account the grouping factors!


I suspect those buckle clips AND the thorsman type will drop in price as awareness spreads (hope?)
