OK, I have had a bib starter for a while now, here are my opinions.
First of all, the bib is hard to get used to. If you get one, do not start your routine for two weeks, and use this as a phase in period to get used to the settings and adjustments.
Once you have passed that stage, you will be able to hang lots of weight in comfort. The last time I tried hanging (about a year ago), I could hang 13 pounds with some discomfort, and I could go up to 18 pounds but that was quite painful, so I didnt do that much. But last night using the starter I could hang with 21 pounds, and comfortably too.
But even though I am getting more proficient, there are still times when I find it difficult to use, and to avoid slipping etc. Usually I can solve it by doing a little jelqing to pump the head up a bit, then the hanger anchors on more easily.
I think this is the way to go for hanging, its more comfortable than any other design, including the home made bib and the stick hangers. You do need a smidge of patience though.
