I know this is an old post but what the heck...
I use several: 3 finger HT, 4 finger HT, Cater Evolution resistance release, Carter Sensation thumb release, Spot Hogg Saturday Night Special (for hunting).
I have several more in a box somewhere.

Any pics of those?
I've tried a few of the Carters but I cannot remember the names of the specific models.
For hunting I use a simple cobra wrist release. When I was more into paper targets I used a couple different Stan's. I'll try to get some pics up over the weekend.
I could probably fund another gun with all the unused releases I have. Oh, well, takes time to find things that work for you...

I've got a T.R.u. Ball Stinger. I like it quite a bit. I'm thinking about lowering the trigger pull but its kinda complicated, so it'll have to wait.
I'll try to get all of them together for a picture. I'v ebeen busy gettin gready to hunt and finishing up Outdoor target shooting.

Just picked up a Tru-Fire Hurricane Extreme this afternoon...
Haven't shot compound in 20 years, and never used a mechanical release back then. Took a a few shots with it this afternoon at the shop and it felt great. Lookin forward to get'n out to the range and put'n it to work...

I started with those. They do work well. I have 3-4 of them laying around in the basement. Two things I don't like about them is the velcro (noisy and hard to get back in the same spot) and hard to climb with it on. They do make shooting easier.

Yes, I need to post a couple pics. Waiting for my camera to come back from Chicago.
These are releases I have that I could find...I forgot one that I use for hunting...a SpotHogg thumb release.
I don't use all of them at this time. I do use the Carter Sensation (blue with thumbhole) for hunting, the Carter Evolution (red with thumbhole) for practice and back tension training, and the 2 Truball HT's (lower right) for target shooting.
I really like the hinge releases over anything else. The blue one in the middle has popped my in the mouth a few times as has the black Carter Solution (one with the lanyard on it).

Wow, looks like you've got all the bases covered...
A lot of trial and error to find out what worked best for me. The TruBall HT's are great unless it is windy. Not meant to be forced to fire as you "drive by" the center of the target. I fall back on the blue Sensation thumb release if it gets too bad.
