I work in aerospace R&D, we use Swagelok stuff daily for test rigs. VERY high quality, simple to install, withstands heat/cold, pressure cycling, vibration, no leaks. Completely different animal compared to regular compression fittings. Only downsides are cost(as usual, the best stuff is $$$) and availability for non-business entities.
One tip I would pass on, Swagelok has brass fittings, if anyone decides to go that route, make sure you buy any steel fitting in the same size for the initial swage. Trying to swage the collars onto steel line with a brass fitting may result in damage to the brass fitting or an improper swage.
