I like the strap rather than the solid deal. Easier to tuck out of the way, under the cuff of your sleeve, etc if you want to. Just a personal preference thing on that I think.
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I like the solid one, less movement for me to get it in place if not already there.

I have a Scot Rhino XT with the nylon connection. It doesn't get much better than that. I have had great experience with Scott archery customer service. The buckle strap lets you get the same hook up every time compared to velcro. More consistent. The nylon connection lets you easily tuck the head into the wrist strap when you are not using it and provides less torque on the d-loop. The hook style release gives a nice clean release and is easy to hook up. You can easily hook it up while not taking your eyes off the target if you plan on hunting.

 I like a buckle.  Velcro gets old and warn out.  I shoot a double caliber.  My advice go down to a pro shop and shoot a few different releases.

Take a look at Spot Hogg's Wiseguy. Had one for a couple of years now and love it.

Kinda late on this, but to throw another idea into the mix;
Look at the Scott silverhorn or Rhino xt, hook type release.  Very easy to connect to loop without having to look at it.
For certain, go with the buckle strap.
Spent most of my $$ on huntin, fishin & retrievin dogs, the rest I just pretty much wasted.

I also prefer a buckle.

My new favorite release is a Timney, I love their rifle triggers so much i decided to try the release, and love it as well.
