on/off with bleed, what do you recommend?

Looking to pick up an on/off asa that has a bleed. What does everyone use?

Even after the development of buttons and levers, I still love CP on/offs.

EDIT
Let me add why: the multi-turn on and off ensures that I don't accidentally shut off the air. With levers, buttons, or cams; it may be easier/quicker to turn on/off, but I tend to switch it bumping or snagging it. The CP has a big knob(good for gloves), it's easy to turn(very light tension), and multiple turns ensure that I don't accidentally turn it on or off. It's the perfect balance of easy to operate and no accidental operation. Also, I don't have to remember which direction is on.

The only thing I don't like about it is that the knob is loctite'd into the pin depressing shaft making complete disassembly/reassembly not as easy.

I was just about to suggest that CP on/offs seem to be the go to for asa's. There are a few others out there that I like, but for what it is worth just go with something that is quick, simple and easy.

Cam drive.

Swore by the CP on/offs until I got an Eclipse POPS. I also prefer the sturdiness of the T rail system.

Have used Bob Long Gear Drive and CP.

I really like the look and mounting system of BL ASAs.

Are my favorite, they have a decent amount of tension on the switch, never had one flip and they flip back to turn on say diving or moving forward isn't going to switch them from on to off.

i'm quite fond of my Ultralite Airport on/off and the BL gear drive.

The CP is the only one I've used other than the empire relay (which is nice). The NDZ one does look nice though. I have non-bleed on/offs on a few of my markers and I just de-gas before I get to the staging area by popping off a few shots to de-pressurize.
