I am trying to find a reliable strap that wont sling around, secure from being able to un-clip apart or taken away easily, reliable and comfortable for my 5D mark 3 with a Sigma 70-200 2.8 or 24-70L 2.8 or Sigma 50 1.4 or 24-105 f/4.
What would you guys recommended for a strap to use?

All straps and slings leave the opportunity for your camera to swing around and smack into something. I've got dings on bodies and lenses because of them...which is why I now use holsters instead of straps.

I've got a spider holster for my 5DIII and just picked up a b-grip UNO for my a7r.

Peak Design's slide model is dual function sling and shoulder strap so one side is covered in a non-slip material. If you use that side in the sling configuration it does help avoid unnecessary movement and flipping it over when you want the side with less friction is easy. There is also another company called UPStrap that makes a sling style strap that, with the addition of non-slip bands adds friction to the design as well but I think Peak Design has the superior product overall.

Try the Luma Cinch. I switched from a BR to a Luma Cinch and couldn't be happier. When pulled tight the camera stays tight to my back and barely moves.

I agree the Cinch would be what you are looking for. I have not tried version 2, version one works great.

I heard that their design is flawed because the holes would rip.

I'm deciding between the cinch or slide from peak design or the leash.

I been using the C-SLR Air Strap. Backed them back on kickstarter and since came out onto their site. It's light, comfortable, and decently priced. They have pretty good customer service too!

BR Yeti and pretty happy with it. Comfortable with 1 or 2 bodies. Both FF bodies, usually 24-70/70-200 and 85mm lenses.

I've never use the cinch but heard good thing. I have owned both the leash and slide. Both are great straps but for a dslr go with the slide over the leash. The slide is wider and slightly padded so it carrys weight far more comfortably.

Intetesting, it makes me interested. I narrowed it down to cinch or c-slr air or slide.
