MN Parachute Elastic Straps
What are your thoughts on these? I have always used Erika's but I know there are a lot of other options out there such as Luff. Do you have experience with other brands? Recommendations?

Don't use them myself.
Here to say Certina DS Super PH1000m.

They are comfortable and easy to adjust but suck if they get wet
for Nato’s , is it really worth going premium ? I see the point between the 10$ and the 25$ ( SRP ) , but where’s the added value of premium Nato’s ? The hardware is the same and the fabric conversation ends at 25 $ with the question of added fabric comfort . Unless I’m missing something .
Again , i’m only considering nato’s for sake of argument.

They are what usually wear for swimming and I find they dry pretty quick or at least not uncomfortable during the drying time. 👍
Tried many styles of NATO and Erica's MN at prices from the lowest to OEM Omega , and can honestly say that the best NATO's are Watchgecko Zuludiver Geckota for posh watches and CWC elastic NATO's for day to day. Both mil-spec sewn in buckle and both far more affordable than they should be compared to the expensive stuff.

Agree with you on the CWC elastic NATO.
But if you live in the US, know that the shipping costs at least doubles the price

Yeah, not considered that mate. Cheap over here. We have same shipping/tax buggering up getting anything from over there in the US.
Damn governments !! 😜👍
I like them. Very comfortable and easily adjust if you are in drastic fluctuations in temperatures
Erika’s are the best MN straps I’ve used. CNS are cheap for a reason.
Tudor is the best with nato strap
I use the watch stewards straps for my FXD. I like them a lot. Great quality and a LOT cheaper than Erica’s. Highly recommended 👍

👍 It’s only my opinion which you asked so no offence. Here’s an alternative selection if it’s of interest:
