Pedal Straps - Budget vs. Durability

So I just purchased a brand new fixed gear. I am super excited to ride it, but I have some questions about straps. I have larger feet, so I equipped the bike with BMX style pedals and I was planning to purchase straps as opposed to cages. There is obviously lots of hype about Hold Fast, but they are a bit out of my budget. Also, Retrogression straps have been sold out forever! (or at least since I have been checking the site). So I have picked out a couple different options to run by you guys, hoping you have experience with them.

Cheapest - Retrospec Straps ($15)

Middle - Wellgo Straps ($25)

More Expensive - CKC Straps ($28)

To me, the CKC straps look the best, but I don't get why they are branded as Hold Fast . . . is it just some BS the seller is claiming?

Thanks in advance!
