I don't use a sling every time I shoot, so QD is the best option for me. When I want to remove the sling, it's very easy to do and I'm not left with little metal parts swinging around or getting in the way.

I often go from single-point to two-point when I do use a sling. It's nice to have at least one rotation limited socket in the mix. Both is even better IMO. On my 15-22 I have a Troy pro grade QD mount in the back, and a Magpul RSA in the front. I'm not liking the RSA though. It gets in my way.

This is the style I like. They stay out of the way even if you have the swivel attached. The price is reasonable too.

It would be better if it had a socket on each side, so if you mounted it on the top or bottom rail it would be ambidextrous (I shoot lefty).
Then maybe you like this design? I have these on 2 other AR's.

Nothing to remove and if you have the piece that stays on the rail, why not just use one like this that has no parts to remove?
