Everybody has their preferences when it comes to speedloaders. Personally, I like the simple operation of the Safariland Comp I speedloaders. Insert the rounds into the chambers, push on the body to release, then let the loader fall to the ground.
Some people prefer the HKS speedloader, but they require twisting a small knob to release the ammo. While I wouldn't go so far as to say it's a "fine motor skill," it does require a little more dexterity than the Comp Is, which can be more difficult to perform when under stress.
Those are probably the most popular, and most commonly available, speedloaders out there.
Your best bet is probably to get one of each, try them out, and see which one you like better. Then get a bunch of the ones you like. I think I have somewhere around a dozen Comp Is.
Also, there's nothing wrong with using strips. Bianchi Speed Strips are good. You can also check out Tuff Products Quick Strips, which are available in different round counts, i.e. strips with 7 or 8 round capacities rather than just 6. You might want to consider the longer strips because then you can space pairs of rounds to make handling and loading easier. One downside is that the Tuff Products strips do seem to have a tendency to wear quicker and get tears than Bianchi, but I also think they release rounds easier. I prefer the Tuff Products strips, but I have sets for carry and sets for practice.
As before, try them out and see what works best for you. There's no one solution that works every time for everybody.
