I ran a single point bungee sling for several years...it's ok, but a long gun will end up tagging you in the nuts or you'll end up with the muzzle smacking the ground when you take a knee.
A two point offers better control of a long gun...and seems more comfortable with heavier builds.
I have a couple of Blue Force Gear's Vickers slings (there's a couple of different ones). I like the rugged webbing they use...sliding the sling to adjust length/position is very positive and stays put. I've had nylon-y ones get twisted and hung up (think car safety belt strap)...so not a fan of those.
That said...for short light guns like a PDW/MP5/MP7/MP9/etc...a one point works well and a two point seems to be too tangly (at least for me). I just have a loop of paracord on my MP7 for now and it works...but I've got to get a proper 1pt. The MS3's are supposed to be less twisty than the previous versions. I hated how slippery the first gen was.
IMO, it's nice to have the sling setup so that your gun can be swung over to the weak side...vs. left hanging/swinging in the middle.
