Hey fellas I am putting together a router/jointer off my table saw like this (like mine, but not mine)

I would like to have a split fence on the router side (not permanent) but I see many different ways to do that. What are your preferences?
There is a saddle mount like this

Or clamp on like these

Or I could just drill/tap the steel fence and install with allens that match my incra miter gauge. It would get rid of lots of bulk and wouldn't take much longer to install/remove like this

As you can see I am up for any suggestions. I would prefer (I think) to have the table saw side stay ready for use and the router side stay set up for jointing most of the time. I actually like the idea of a clamp on or bolt on. I dont know of I like the saddle style. More bulk for nothing it seems.
Thanks for all the help!
