I can't say anything as to the strength of the swing tops. But they certainly look good and are perfect for bottling. However, you'll have to make/drink a lot of mocktails before you have enough bottles. I bought these on Amazon and they work great: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0064ODUDK
Quicker way to the bottles. Unless you were going to buy a bunch of those mocktail things anyway. :-)
This is the best brand, I have been doing home brewing for a few years now and this is the brand I have been recommended and bought multiple times. If you can, find a local store to buy from. Most of the price on amazon is shipping empty glass and they will be much cheaper if you find a place to buy them in person.
I use these EZ cap bottles like most others on this sub. ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0064ODUDK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_-AklFbSV7N3XN ). You can get them on Amazon as well as most brewing suppliers. This should help with carbonation as long as you have your ratios balanced, 1F liquid plus added fruits or sugars for 2F.
Local homebrew store but these are the same ones on amazon
A really good compromise is something like swing-top bottles. They're good for a couple years and can be easily opened and closed.

i would much rather have clear glass though because it looks so much better. is this a good deal? http://www.amazon.com/CASE-OF-12-Bottles-CLEAR/dp/B0064ODUDK/ref=pd_sim_k_5
