The tip end of the RRS lever clamp lever usually ends up tucked under the lens plate, or tucked under the front of the camera body, which protects it quite well from catching it on things. If you are bushwhacking, you perhaps should not be using a lever clamp. For most all other photographic work, the lever will not catch on anything, and you are fine. If you worry, use the safety stop screws, and the half open position will very likely keep your bracket or plate in place. For me, I take all my safety stop screws out, and never use them.
With the Really Right Stuff lever clamp, you have a well engineered and well manufactured lever clamp that you will soon be able to operate instinctively by feel without looking at it. I would suggest that you stay with the RRS family for future lever clamps, possibly in one of the three different sizes depending on use, and perhaps reserve your cost savings to getting screw clamps for needs where the speed of operation of a lever clamp does not matter.
