Making your own is a simple and easy project.  Here's one of mine made of bison and designed to include a knife gift from a close uncle.  (bow is a classic...the 1964 Kodiak).

I don't wear one unless my clothes are long sleeved. I ran a Neet 4 slot for years. Now they make a 3 rod less material model and it has some funky fastener deal. I much preferred the old "panel" 4 slot model with velcro.
Twist it up, don't pluck, marinate then grill.

Belongs to someone else now, but I made it.  Don't sell 'em, just make them as gifts or trade stock.

I love the knife built in Froggy and Blackhawk.  Does it get in the way though?

I have used both.  I prefer the one button for ease of use, and found no difference between the protection.  

The one button is easier to adjust for clothing thickness.  I do need to take a bit more care in putting it on as it is easy to get too much tension on one side of the elastic, which can make the guard sit crooked on the arm.
