I am not in favor of c(l)am cleats for the halyard; my recommendation is a simple horn cleat because a c(l)am cleat on the mast 1. doesn't allow you to tie a Jens rig (ever) 2. doesn't allow you to drastically change the diameter of your halyard 3. is probably more expensive A horn cleat is likely to be more gently on the line.
