I don't use a strap very often, but when I do it for all day so I don't use the Canon strap, I got rid of that one in the 1st week of DSLR ownership.
I have an Optech and a Tamrac both with neoprene. The Tamarac as the quick release connections just a few inches from the camera so I can take it off to make juggling 2 bodies easier when switching back and forth.
Also the Tamrac strap is extra stretchy so I use it to carry something heavy like a 300mm f/2.8 to help with the weight.
