Detailed Comparison

Type	Best Used For	The Expert Take
Tube w/ Handles	Chest Press, Rows, Triceps	The only band that effectively replaces dumbbells for upper body.
Fabric Loop	Squats, Hip Thrusts	Only buy these for leg day. They are too stiff for arms.
Latex Mini	Rehab, Lateral Walks	Cheap and effective, but uncomfortable. Expect them to break eventually.
