The topic isnt what I use, it is about you being comfortable with your takers spending precious time, which you may not have, differentiating one TQ from the other in the dark, then putting it into use...
If your guys were equally competent with the CAT and SOFT-T I would have less an issue but according to your previous posting that is not the case.
As for what I use/carry, my guys and I carry SOFT-T's (2 center-line on their armor) and I carry a few extras in all of my aid and CASEVAC bags... There are also some CAT's thrown in for those guys who have girl arms that I may run across. My guys are trained on both and are expected to be proficient at using both TQ's just as they are applying pressure dressings, performing needle drills, and crics...after all, my life may be the one depending on it.
