The T-Bolt Hose Clamps are built for durability, and with enough torque you should not have any leaks...
However, on plastic Radiator Surge Tanks(aka Overflow tanks) I would use a Constant Torque Hose Clamp because it's clamping force changes with the temperature and eliminates “cold flow” leaks. Less torque required for leak proof=longer life of plastic tank before it cracks the plastic. Both clamp types can be bought on Amazon.

I have had the best results by placing the hose clamp about 1/4" from the hose barb.
