I have the PDP snare with hooks and I hit the claw once in a while but never enough to worry about it. Once I oriented the snare drum comfortably to wear my left hand plays it was set it and forget it.
Snare with Claw Hooks / Rim Shots
In my never-ending search for snares, I'm considering a few that have claw hooks on the rim. Very cool look, but I'm wondering if those get in the way for rim shots. Also, I noticed the lug nuts are higher than the rim, which could also get in the way of rim shots.
Not sure how I'd avoid mangling sticks.

If you are accurate enough to execute a rimshot you should easily be accurate enough to miss the claw hooks 99.999999999% of the time.
