I've tried all kinds of straps and always find myself going back to the same thing - thin woven nylon. Something narrow enough to wrap around my hand and wrist to keep it outta the photo, but wide enough not to chafe my neck. I don't sling cameras over one shoulder so slippage isn't an issue. Lately I shop for straps at a good local military surplus store. That way I get to pick the softest but not too stretchy straps, and cut 'em to whatever length I like.

Paracord is great too for lightweight cameras like my XA3. Soft paracord also beats most devices for direct attachment to strap lugs, especially on cameras with delicate champagne finishes. Add a nylon strap with good quality hard nylon or Zytel clips at either end for quick release. Good combo. Quiet too.
