I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
Just get one with a quick detach and some strong bungy to it is the only solid recommendation I have. I liked the Botach sling, but even blackhawk makes a decent one with the aforementioned necessities.
So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!
I tried a single point on one of my ARs and I didn't like it. It seemed like I couldn't get it to the point of hanging comfortably. It either put to much pressure on my neck or it was awkward hanging off my shoulder. I ended up going with a two point for my rifles I may carry at some point. Vickers, BFG, etc all make good ones there is even a forum I can point you to that shows how to make a tactical two point sling for less than $15. As far as transitions I've only been to one carbine course so I have limited experience but as was said above all you do is drop it in a controlled manner and in a way that allows you to get to your sidearm. If you are being shot at or shooting at something that is shooting back and your rifle goes down properly slinging your rifle will be the last of your worries. Getting the pistol out to finish what was started is priority number one. And on that note the single point seemed to always be in the wrong place for me. Ymmv

and here are a few soldiers wearing single point slings that can be converted into double point slings

Funny but with all those blackhawks and Chinooks around, he, well they always had me fly them when he needed to go someplace...him and all the sergeant majors!

the magpul ms4 gen 2 converts from 2 point to one point sling and has the quick connection. Gives the best of both worlds. you should check it out.
