Blick-um, blick-um...
Figured I'd chime in here... Happy birthday Phil -- congrats on reaching 40.
I agree with you Phil, I don't like to use muffling either. Many drummers (almost all, in fact) that come to the studio ask for the zero rings or moongel, so I have it ready for them just in case. I try to talk them out of it but few actually take my advice.
My preference for recordings are Remo Ambassadors, Emperors or even pinstripes. I seem to get the best end-results with Remo.
I've never tried Acquarians on toms but I can tell you the Superkicks I and II are awesome for bass drums.
I've used Evans G2s on toms -- they work OK -- I just thing they get too flubby when you tune them down low.
But hey E-Z if you can get Phil to tune em up you're on the right path!
I don't know what you're talking about -- I do it all the time with lower-end and mid-level kits. Never any problems and it really hlpes to seat the heads. To each his own I guess.
But to answer the original question re: snare lugs:
It all depends on the head you use AND the weather (especially drastic temp and humidity changes) AS WELL AS how often the drum is played and how hard the drum is played. Wood snares seem to be more tempermental. A well-made steel snare with a die-cast hoop seems to hold it's tuning pretty well.
Happy drumming! Cheers, Rez

I've recently started using remo pinstripes again & I far prefer them to coated skins on the toms
I found premier drums to be particularly bad for screws coming loose, it's all been well explained ere' but the bottom screws used to come loose on me so I used PTFE thread sealer from a plumbers tool box & I never had a screw fall out since
I generally expect to tweak the tuning everytime I play/record especially if some heavy handed punk bastard has been on it
