I would recommend a leather sling, 66 and 1/2 inches or shorter, with a single brass-frog (claw).
Original slings are getting 'crazy expensive' and often have weak areas. Some real inexpensive reproductions show up on ebay.
It is good practice not to leave a leather sling on your rifle for long periods of time. (Metal corrosion, mildew, and leather cracking).
From what I've read, the U.S. canvass Mill's Sling was tested on a limited basis and was not liked by troops.
