Nowadays I mostly carry speedstrips, reserving speedloaders for those situations when I can fit 1 or 2 of them on my person in a convenient manner. (Bigger pockets in jackets during cooler weather, although I might still only grab 2-3 speedstrips for most usage.)

Pretty much the same thing I used to do in the days of carrying a service revolver (or one of my own revolvers) off-duty, so it became a habit. I carried a pair of speedloaders on & off-duty, but eventually went to speedstrips for ease of carrying in smaller, tighter pockets that wouldn't hold speedloaders.

There have been many times when I've worn a camera case on my belt, when riding a motorcycle, which easily holds 5-6 speedloaders in the "camera film roll" pocket.

Yes, speedloaders are faster than speedstrips, but they still require some training and continued practice to surely and effectively use them.
