blue force gear or gtfo.

idf slings are nice, cheap, and simple but they can’t match the adjustability and features of the bfg. i have one for clone purposes but it’s uncomfortable. as others have said - it’s the equivalent of using a car seat belt as a sling.

i have a troy sling and i hate how the “pig tail” has to be secured somehow. too much bulk and it’s a pain in the ass. not a fan.

three point slings ... just don’t. they interfere with the controls of an ar15 - mainly the left side bolt release.

one point = getting slapped in the nuts...not pleasant.

blue force gear standard vickers, padded vickers, 221 - all good. i have 6 bfg slings and happy with every purchase.

I haven't ever had a problem. Not advocating for them. I'm more fascinated when something goes from being basically the standard to being thought of as awful. All I need is something that allows my hands to be free at the range so I'm not exactly a particular customer these days.

I want one of their suppressor covers
I'm planning on getting one for the Sandman K when it gets in. Might have to email them though since they don't show them on their site.

I have (can't say "use") the Magpul MS3 sling. Easily converts from 2 point to single point. I like it a lot and it comes in real handy when I'm playing operator in the basement.

I also chose this one because @karlvv said you could move the clip to the strap and autoeroticasphyxiate without even having to take your gun off.
