No fluid will leak out on the late t-case and I wouldn't even worry about the boot.

Yes there is, but a zip tie is cheaper. 1996-01 the rear output is sealed and you don't have leakage with the drive shaft removed.

Wire cutters work well. Just don't squeeze so hard that you actually snip the strap.

I've always used a zip tie, but I actually did buy some metal straps last time I was at the store and will probably use a wire cutter like Milford said. You can buy a special tool for it, it's fairly similar to the ones used for clamps on PEX tubing for radiant floor heating.

For 'average use' (if there is such a thing) what's the typical interval to re-grease the splines?

I talked to Tom Woods last month when I bought a replacement boot. He said the metal strap requires a $120 tool but the zip ties he included in the package are more than adequate.
