I use wingnuts on my CNC which is full of vibration and never see the nuts come loose. That problem may be specific to your table.

Nylocs can only be reassembled a few times before they stop locking, and many people use loctite to address the backing-out problem.

Wingnuts against softwoods basically suck. the wood fibers just keep compressing and you keep tightening forever.
