I use the turnbuckle on rods and they are simple and work just fine. I do not really see paying the extra $$ for the fast guns. It only takes a few minutes to install and adjust the turnbuckles.
I'm with you on the extra money vs. time thing. In my particular case, I have the torklift mounts that are spring loaded so I already have the give supplied in a fastgun. Additionally, I use a 3/4" rubber stall mat which also provides some give beyond the anti slip features. If someone wasn't using a heavy rubber mat nor a suspension type tie-down, I could see the possible need for them. With my set up, buckles and chains work just fine. They aren't meant to be that tight. Number one mistake for damage can likely be tied back to over tightening.
