I know vantec makes one or more, that uses all 3 of the lugs for the clip to hold on to,

Taisol use to, I think the better mounting is using the motherboard holes (like the Alpha). If you break one of those holes you really did something wrong.......:D

ThermalRight AX-7 uses all three cleats, and also, it is one of the best heatsinks you can purchase. Its also relatively cheap, only $25 or so without a fan. This means you can choose whether you want a quiet, low-flow fan, or a high-speed, noisy fan, or find a good medium.

Thermalright AX-7, SLK600 and SLK800 all use a good 3 prong clip.

Others include the Senfu and the Volcano 7+ (only some newer versions) along with some Tasiol and Vantec versions. The Thermalright ones are the best.

The Taisol 760092 works that way, and is an excellent cooler. Midrange noise with the stock fan. KDComputers carries them.

Nexfan offers the Galaxy gc21, incredibly inexpensive. I used one on an athlon 1200 for a friend who's truly cheap- works fine, obviously not for overclocking or low-temp afficianados. midrange noise.
