That's a good knot to mention to the grandkids. I've already told them to watch out for the fresh water great whites when they go swimming here.
Awright, I, too, use the triple clove hitch with a half hitch. It throws on a post so fast that the only thing that slows it down is the height of the post. Flick, flick, flick - done! Maybe a second and a half. I don't see too much wave action here, other than from weekend boating. I do use the bowline for some things. It's a great non-closing loop, which also tightens with tension on the line, and which always is easily opened by "breaking the back" on it. I guess I've voted for two knots, or at least kept me from being "wrong" in case one knot is clearly the way to go.
