Looking to get a Tripod strap, only use my bag til now but thought about time to get one, so what's good?

p.s. for a Manfrotto 055 pro

An Optec one?

I agree - I had a spare Optech Pro-Loop strap and use it on my 055PROB - really reduces the apparent weight on the shoulder.

There are 2 Optech ones, one has a Swivel end, and the other has 2 plastic lock connector thing.

Which one to get?

Mine (the pro-loop) has the quick-release plastic buckles and thinner loops to make it easier to attach/detach the strap. These loops also fit nicely though the upper strap lug on the tripod.

It's the right-hand strap in this picture:
