Clipping Fixed gear - sling vs. thumbloop/wire

When you guys clip fixed gear, specifically fixed cams, do you clip the sling? or do you clip the thumbloop/wire?

It makes more sense to me to clip the thumbloop, as it will not as readily deteriorate as the nylon sling will.

Depends on the gear I am clipping into.

fair enough. I guess that is almost always the answer to every question on this forum. It depends

That brings up a question why even have slings on cams with wired thumb loops?

BD C4s lose 2kN strength when clipped through the wire. I would take that over iffy nylon.
