Any clamp is fine as long as the gap in the clamp doesn't line up with the gap in the seat tube. If you're using a standard clamp, mount it with the bolt on the front instead of the back.

I'd check the clamp to make sure the top edge has a smooth radius rather than a sharp edge which could score the CF. -
I have had trouble with carbon seat post slipping. I use a Salsa Liplock. works great, just offset it with the slit in your seat tube so it dosen't pinch the carbon seat post. Dale
