I knew this bench would be sort of "baby". That is, I knew it would be just a benchtop (so common holdfasts are out), it would be cheaply and quickly made, and someday when my shop is not in my kitchen I would build a "real" bench.
I wanted some kind of hold-down clamps, but lacking the space below the deck, they'd have to attach somehow to the deck itself. At the time I was enamored with aluminum extrusion, especially its use in a knockdown turntable stand I was building.
As for the brand, I think I simply stumbled upon it through Amazon.
When I'm ready to invest in and build a bigger, heavier, less-flat-packable bench I want it to have Jorgensen vises & dogs: Jorgensen 41012 vise, Jorgensen 40709 vise, Jorgensen bench dog
You'll need a bench with a vise so I'd look for tools that help me build one. There are hundreds of bench designs around but IMO the most important things are that it's heavy and rigid and that the legs are flush with the front edge of the top. If you're serious about it you could ask for one of the books on bench design. I'm only familiar with Chris Schwarz's blue book, but I can recommend it.
For a vise, a standard metal quick-release like this would be fine. You could also go with this style which is easier to mount flush to the bench's edge.
