Handguard Attachment - Who's is the best

I too vote for whatever handguard I own...

In your opinion, which companies AR15 handguard/quadrail has the best/sturdies/nices looking/most functional attachment method? Daniel Defense? KAC? Troy? Samson? Centurion? Other?
Im doing some designing and would like to study what you all think is the best attachment method. Feel free to give pros/cons to different setups

The easiest to deal with is one that re-uses the standard barrel nut. It is, IMHO the baseline standard and does a decent job of it.

LOL...or whatever handguard I'm currently flogging in the EE...

The Diamondhead VRS T rail attaches nicely. Comes with it's own barrel nut and then the rail gets tightened down with two cap-head Allen screws. The rail itself has two tabs that prevent rotation (not really necessary but nice nonetheless). https://www.google.ca/search?q=diamondhead+vrs+t&prmd=ivn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAWoVChMI4L3j3o33xwIVwxg-Ch2TDgBw#imgrc=rSiJQRAaq_KegM%3A

I really liked the troy vtac alpha but i am using a kac ras now and although it has more rails than ill ever need it feels great in hand and is real easy to install

The Geissele SMR is without a doubt the best system aside from a monilithic rail/receiver.

The barrel nut is torqued down to 40-ish foot pounds, then the rail slips over and is aligned with huge anti-rotation tabs (that also have set-screws to micro-align the rail to be rock solid) then torques down with 2 cross bolts that pass through channels in the barrel nut.

Diamondhead USA uses a very similar system, but doesn't have the steel 'bone nut' that Geissele uses.

A close second would be the Daniel Defense Bolt-Up system.
