Use normal ones. I put the mikalor clamps on and I’m just about to swap them out.
Been recommended JCS Higrip. Just trying to work out the sizes I need now. Going off the sizes i've seen recommended by @RichValver they're the below:
Pack QTY: Pack of 4, Material Spec: W4 - Stainless Steel, Clip Size: 17-25mm (0X)
Pack QTY: Pack of 10, Material Spec: W4 - Stainless Steel, Clip Size: 25-35mm (1)
Pack QTY: Pack of 4, Material Spec: W4 - Stainless Steel, Clip Size: 35-50mm (2A)
But I will confirm.

yes I used Mikalor on all hoses and did a trackday atAnglesey, one pipe started leaking when on track as they were not clamping the hose correctly messed my day up so changed all the clamps when I got back to normal jubilee clips.

These. Used them on my Clio years ago.
We used them down Portsmouth Dockyard to secure ducking round a pontoon that spends half its time under water and they are still perfect.

Not wanting anything that will dig into the pipes over time. That's why the JCS HI-GRIP are perfect as they're stamped and have a smooth inner edge.

So I received my Silicone hoses and measured them all. The dimensions are as below:
18.4
18.5
18.7
20
24.3
24.7
25.65
25.7
26.2
26.63
32.5
33.75
38.3
39.74
39.84
41.37
Give or take, as they're obviously flexible.
So the below should be fine, with extras to err on the side of caution.
Pack QTY: Pack of 6, Material Spec: W4 - Stainless Steel, Clip Size: 17-25mm (0X)
Pack QTY: Pack of 10, Material Spec: W4 - Stainless Steel, Clip Size: 25-35mm (1)

Cheers for this, I want to replace all my OE clamps as they are past it!
I'll confirm when I do mine, but they should all be correct.
