i have used ripcord for quite a few years and i like them. can't say either way about the rest of em because i have never used them. used prongs before the ripcord, but would never go back to that. as for noise; i put a small strip of moleskin in the fork for the arrow to ride on and never makes a sound. i use a small tie-wrap to secure it. you could tie it with serving string also.
good luck with whatever you choose
I use the rip cord and it works good. I although I'm new to bow hunting
X2 - Ripcord. Nice to have your arrows ready in any position you lift your bow from. Did find that it did not work well with my son's Diamond Razor LH. Has always been good for me.
I installed the Limbdriver on my Bowtech Allegiance this week. Got it tuned up night before last and let the first group fly. I was very impressed. My tight groups got tighter. Gotta be careful not to shoot nocks off now. Bow is more quiet, too.
