You need to be more specific on what purpose you are using it for and features you need or want it to have.

A Petzl Triact lock oval is going to make a terrible carabiner for nuts, for example.

I love the DMM ovals as a non locking option

You need help picking a carabiner?

Not even the simplest of posts escapes Frank’s wrath!

OP: if you’re aid climbing, get notchless/keylock ‘biners.

The most oval one.

But seriously nose type, gate type and cost are all you should care about.

For nuts, non locking, key lock nose is the jam.
