Actually I think the hood locks look a lot smoother and are not something you see often. Has anyone ever used the hood locks?

I have them. Though, I never installed them. lol
They are way better.
i would go with the pins... imagine this... during a rally and something went wrong... you ask your nav "where is the key?" and your nav says "i don't know, i thought you had it!". 
plus, pins look cool!

Ok... I know I'm replying to an insanely old thread... but anyway...
I got a pair of the hood locks and all I can say is. Be careful which ones you buy. I'm going to need to buy a new pair as the metal on the lower part of the ones I got was so cheap that it snapped off while I was installing them. (and I wasnt being rough by any means)
Caveat Emptor!

watch out with the hood locks. friend of mine had them on his car and someone put super glue in the lock.... now me i have had the pins and cables. be careful with the cables cause they will put wear marks in your paint.
imho if you don't have any fear of your hood flying off at speed, don't mess with pins and locks.
