ok, i generaly have problems when poly modeling something industrial. I still havent made my car model (lol, a nuissance for every 3d artist :scream:)
this is a concrete example
while modeling the handle for these three metal thingies

i thought of two possible solutions

i know that people keep saying, quads quads and only quads, but... i dont find them always suitable, i mean, dont tempt me, i can make some pretty weird and bad wires, and still keep them all quad.
so, in this picture, both handles have quads only, the first one is better, i thought that more lines would mean more definet shape but it didnt turn out the way i thought it will.
Also, is there some 3rd possible way, to somehow keep these lines straight?
