Just go with the vintage lockers if you need to have that vibe.

I like them well enough and most of my guitars are equipped with them. They do add some weight and if you're a "vintage guy" they will look a little off.
Stretching out the strings, how they're wrapped around the post, and the quality of the nutwork are all important. It could be how I wind them, but I've tried several suggested methods over time and have just had noticeably better stability overall with locking tuners. Most of mine are hard tails (or might as well be for all the whammy bar I don't use). My current build won't have them so I guess we'll see how that works out.
My Warmoth Pro necks don't like to move around with minor temp/humidity changes. Some others do.
