I'm going to be participating in my first legit shoot soon and I need a good sling for both match and tactical shooting. Can someone point me in the right direction?

If you don't need the ability to drop your gun and run for the hills, consider the "no buckles" version of the TAB. Saves a little cash, but I just like because you don't have the plastic buckles creating pain points on the sling.

Looking at the website provided, it seems that the buyer can choose between 3 styles of swivel choices: heavy duty, HK, and Flush. Can anyone explain the differences?

lol. I'm not really sure their still in the box as I didn't see a need to even look at them until now. I can however tell you that they attach to left side of the stock. Both front and back. They don't mount to the bipod stud.

But I definately like the TAB over the TIS. I prefer the ease of Tony's cuff design.

Get leather, you won't regret it - far better, IMHO.
Leather is far superior, IMHO, and it looks better. (No offense Mike, the TIS is my next choice)....

Specifically Turner Saddlery.
