      I prefer the Jorgy's. It's a toss-up when it comes down to it. The Jorgy's have a slide bar that allows the clamp jaws to slide while it keeps the clamp upright and square on the table.

      I got mine at Amazon, but they are not listed in a catalog I just got yesterday???

   Good luck...

   I have an assortment of both and prefer the Jorgensens.  The Besseys often (always) take two hands to tighten, and have a propensity to move the stock as the clamp is tightened.  The Jorgensens also seem heavier for the same $$$.  What makes using the Besseys particularly frustrating is their tendency to slip off the work even when there is a fair amount of pressure being applied - which is especially tormenting if one is clamping several edge glued boards for a table top.
