With all the brands of rail covers, which ones do you use and why?

I am finally getting around to putting them on and do not have a consistent one I have been using.  Just curious what is out there and any hands-on experience.

I use the BCM rail covers, cheap, slim, easy on/off.

Magpul type 2
I like the texture and the can be cut up/sanded to fit up tight to light mounts/VFG;s etc.
And the can be had at a good price.

I don't like them much either, but I need them to provide heat/hand protection.

I love LaRues. They have excellent cable management built right into them, too.

For Keymod I dig Midwest Industries.

LaRue Index Clips are by far the best rail covers I've every tried. They are also the best option for wire management too.

It looks like these are for picatinny only?

Are these fairly rigid or do they have any rubbery feel to them?  Yes, I said rubbery.

Yes LaRue Index Clips are for picatinny rails. What other "rail" were you referring to? I've never heard of M-lok or Keymod referred to as a "rail' unless they attach a picatinny 'rail" onto the handguard. Rail covers are for picatinny 'rails'.

Good point.  This is for a KeyMod handguard.

@MHeemeyer

MI rail covers are rigid, take a look at Ergo if you want a softer rubbery texture that’s ribbed for your pleasure.
