For me it depends on how long the handguard is.
If it's 11" or so I'd use an AFG. If it's 9" or less I'd go with a VFG.
I found the AFG doesn't feel right to me unless I can get my hand out a bit. My 16" bbl rifle have 15" handguards. I've tried the AFG on 7" and 9" handguards and it felt too squished up to me. |

On an SBR I definitely prefer a VFG because it is much more comfortable for my wrist. On a longer rifle with at least a midlength rail I prefer an AFG. As far as VFG's go, I haven't found anything better than the Magpul MOE, especially at the price point.

I definitely like the AFG2 over the AFG.

Unity Tactical has a new vfg out that will mount directly to a keymod rail. It looks a lot less bulky compared to the BCM, only downside is it looks kind of shiny.

I was a huge AFG guy, newer builds have been built with no VFG or AFG, just rail covers and a hand stops.

Leverless Tango Down shorty is my favorite VFG.

I think the FAB-Defense Tactical Folding Grip marketed by the Mako is perfect for SBR etc.., I use them on my SBR, and MG's.
http://www.themakogroup.com/Detail.aspx?PROD=1042631 The cheapest place to find it will be AmmToGo http://www.ammunitiontogo.com/product_info.php/pName/1-mako-fggs-folding-vertical-pistol-grip |

I'm really liking BCM's short VFG. They make a picatinny version and a keymod version.

No VFG or a stubby (or hand stop) as a place to index your hand on the rail.

I've been using the Magpul XTM hand stop kit on my SBRs and I like it a lot. I also have a couple guns with the AFG, it's nice too but I think the hand stop kit puts my hand at a better angle than the AFG.

I like my Tango Down stubby, used more as a handstop than anything else

I use VFGs more as a handstop. Considering I have been focusing more on ammo and magazines, I've just been buying KAC VFGs off of the EE whenever I need one. They work great and can be had for cheap.

I like my Tango down full size grip.
I bought the stubby one first, but it was just too short to get a good grip on, so I sent it back and got the full size. Well made, rock solid, easy to install, and has a pocket for a light switch. |

Try out a few...afg, vg, handstops, and none at all. figure out what you like. They're not too expensive and the EE seems to gobble small parts like that faster than i can throw them on there.

That kind of stuff is very subjective. You just have to try them and see what works for you.
Having said that, I like stubby grips, but it's against my religion to pay $80 for one. I have a few Archangel stubbies, and I'm happy with them. They run $18 to $20. |

I actually like the KAC VFG; it feels very comfortable to me

Not a fan of VFG's. I do have a Grip Pod I purchased off the EE as a cheap bipod for sighting my rifles in. YMMV
