Silca chuck vs Hiro - any recommendation?

In the last several years I tried multiple different Lezyne chucks, e.g. quick release, angled, etc and they all equally suck. I often need to add air to 4 bikes (my family weekend bike ride) and that is a time you can appreciate a good, easy on/off chuck. I narrowed it down to either regular Silca or Silca Hiro. All my wheels are presta and I don't have disc wheels to worry about, I will use it on both road and mountain bikes. I really like the idea of "slip-on" chuck, like the original Silca, but worry that it might not hold up well on higher pressure road wheels. The "Hiro" on the other hand seems to be a bit more work, where you need to lock/unlock it each time, and when you do it on 8 wheels, it adds up. Any suggestions?
