Atmos speakers - which more likely to work well?

Quick q:

I'm setting up the HT room in our new place. Nice rectangular room, I can wire it up how I want, but there are two beams running across the room. I'm a bit cautious about putting in-ceiling speakers in case we have to move and because of sound feeding into the upstairs rooms via the floor cavity.

So I could do these:

or something like this:

and just stick them to the ceiling. The latter or similar is obviously cheaper, and the extension from the clamps will help get the sound past the beams running across the room. But I wonder whether they are likely to have wide dispersion needed? And of course it's a bit unsightly to have black things stuck to the ceiling.

Any thoughts, esp from those who have tried the KEF Q50a's?
