From what I hear...Snake guides are heavier then single foot guides. I'm not sure how much of a difference the weight will actuallly be, I doubt it's much, and I doubt it really makes much of a difference.
I've also heard some guys building their rods claim the snake guides can affect the action of the rod, once again I doubt there is that much difference. If you are building a rod the single foot guides require less filing, wrapping, and finish.
I think it's mostly what you think looks better, I like the single foot.
