    I only have one criteria --

    If your foregrip is one of those skinny carbon fiber ones, I can't vote for you.

          They're way overused. And I see them on a lot of markers that they don't really flow with. It kills me to see a marker that is amazingly put together and nicely anno'd and have that grip just hanging out there screwing the whole thing up. They do fit with a few markers I've seen. But that is rare in my opinion .

            Personally I hate seeing a loop of airline going from valve directly to tank asa.

            Gas thru foregrip (with the right foregrip) looks so much better IMHO.

              i saw armada prime in person last sunday... that's one setup where it most definitely looks hot.

                he just needs to get a dw barrel where the weave matches that of the body and foregrip.

                i guess that's a pet-peeve of mine...mis-matched carbon fiber layups. if you're going through the trouble, you may as well match the weave, direction and finish.

                  Haha, I feel just the opposite. I like the simplicity of going straight from the asa to the valve rather than adding 2 more fittings and tiny little pieces of air line.

                  That's why mags are so awesome though, build them how you want to.

                    Agree that they can look better sometimes, but they feel so much worse IMO. The way I hold a the marker, I'd be grabbing the upper macro fitting while I am shooting. Not a huge deal, but certainly not as nice as a smooth grip. The "loop" method is also marginally easier to take apart, if you're into that kind of thing.

                    RTP length rail and a long loop of macro is how I run things. SOooooo comfy!

                      The 12" loop of line is my perfered method. I prefer steel braid on mags and it is the easiest way of doing it. I can never get the right length of sttel braid for it to look clean.

                        I agree mostly with what dboggs79 said; I think they just kill otherwise good builds because they very seldom flow with the rest of the marker. Just about the only marker I liked one on was "Armada Prime".

                          Having Tom Kaye, Simon Stevens, Tunaman and Mike Quinn vote for your marker definitely caries some weight doesn't it?
