Anyone recommend a good sling?

I was thinking of trying one this time around as I broke my arm last Christmas and I have a feeling I'm going to have to build strength in my arm carrying my lil guy around.

I'd like one that is not complicated and easy to use for a big baby. My babies are usually 9 pounds.

I used a Moby Wrap with DD, it can bu used several different ways including as a sling. My favorite part of it was the soft fabric and adjustableness of it

I bought a nice ring sling off of Etsy. Homemade and very cute. Just check that the rings & fabric they use are good quality!

My Moby and ring slings are both from etsy. They were used a lot with my son. He is almost three and I carry him in a BabyHawk Oh Snap sometimes (getting harder now that I'm getting bigger, but I can do it). I got a BabyHawk MeiTai for our little girl. 

We started out with the Baby Bjorn. Let me tell you...the other carriers that I've used (above) were a million times better.

We were at a 4th of July event and this guy was selling slings. I tried it out, loved it and never looked back. I used it up until DD was about 2 years old. http://poppypouch.com/

This is what I'm getting this time.  We had the Moby with #1 and it was great but hard to tie all the extra fabric so I'm hoping the K'Tan will solve that problem.
