I use TA triple rings and are very happy with them. I love the wide choice in sizes that are available.
Shimano's unique styling and lack of ring choice makes me avoid their rings and cranks. The company appears to me to intend to reduce Shimano crank owners choice in rings to Shimano only. I understand that business approach but disagree with it. I believe that users are better served by designs that work well and look good with other company's products.
FSA rings have worked well for me but they also have a limited size selection and I can only find them in black. Some have reported that they are soft but we didn't have a problem with them.
