Re: the above, the single piece strap is a ZULU, while the double piece is a NATO. I prefer ZULU straps myself.
This is not correct (even though some on-line sources claim so). At least it's not universally true that Zulu straps are from a single piece, as a quick search will show. But they can be made with a single strap:
What seems to be the unifying quality of Zulu straps is the chunkier hardware.
Timefactors, where I've bought my NATOs and single piece straps from, call their single piece straps for "RAF pattern straps" (they're still listed on the site under their NATO models).
