I'm looking to buy a snorkel, to use while swimming freestyle to work on technique. I've read the reviews of these two snorkels and wanted to see if there was any concensus from readers here.

Based on the product name it would seem like an obvious choice but many reviewers complained about too much water getting into the 'freestyle' snorkel while swimming. However, I'm guessing the 'freestyle' version may be easier to clear after flip turns.
I have the swimmer's dorkel from Finis. I agree it wiggles around a bit and you should wear a nose clip. However, the wiggling has a secret benefit as it teaches you to keep your head totally still while swimming and especially on the turns. You are going to get a lot of water in your tube so just get used to it and learn how to quickly purge.
I am convince that the dorkel is the best swim aid of all the toys made. There's no faking a swim while you dorkelize.
