Yeah, the T-style is the Tru-Flate, I use the 3/8in Tru-Flate exclusively.

As far as leakage goes, my one lesson has been this: when I plumbed the 
garage for air a decade or so ago, I pointed all the quick-connect 
couplers down.

Bad idea.

Even with a fair amount of attention to drainage, and even with brass 
quick-connects, you still get just enough moisture in the lines to cause 
a little buildup and corrosion, and they'll end up sticky and leak-prone 
over time.

Keep them at least horizontal, try to use them all regularly, squirt a 
little WD-40 or something in there periodically when you do.
