It's no different than any gun or accessory, buy the one that works for you and train with it to make sure you can manage it. You may find it doesn't work for you.

Except for my CMP ARs I don't attach anything to the stock anymore, therefore I use a hybrid 2-point, either a Magpul MS4 or Vickers 221.

I prefer a two point arrangement for rifles, as I am less inclined to get bound up, especially when transitioning to the handgun or going hands on with an opponent. Plus I am not likely to learn new tricks after 57 years of using two point slings.

two pointer or even one for the cqb, regular rifles two point.

Yes. I also prefer single point for an SBR

I use push button quick detach sling swivels in conjunction with ambi QD socket carbine stock receiver end plate so my rear sling point is never on the stock anymore.

With the Magpul MS4 or Vickers 221 extra attachment socket I can switch to a single point easily.
