Use what feels best to you, but try each for a couple of days to really get a feel of it.

I started out with a glove, shot with one for a long time. But this year I started experimenting with a tab and much prefer it now. For cooler weather, I find I can slip a tab over mechanic's gloves,(in my case bought from Bobcat)and shoot quite well with it.
I am confident that I get a better release with a tab. The one I have been using is from Alaska Bowhunting Supply. Still not sure if I need the spacer but am currently shooting with it in place.

Tab, I make my own out of TPO, or EPDM membrane roofing. EPDM for colder weather, TPO for warmer weather.

Switched to a tab. like it a lot better in cold weather, just wear tactical gloves underneath(Thanks OB). Just started using a Saunders Pak Tab now, love  it.

I like the tab.  I think it's what you're the most comfortable and confident with.

I really like the golve but have trouble when I use one thick enough to protect my fingers. The tab seems to work better. I use a cartel tab and it is easy to replace the leather when it wears.

Another vote for the SAM. Been using one for the last 15 years. Yes they do take some time to break-in but isn't that part of the fun of Trad shooting?
