Like many here, I like the Rainier Evolution.
It's a great value at around $175 including a QD socket. It uses a standard barrel nut and mounts rock solid when installed correctly. The tube diameter is "just right" - wide enough to take any low pro gas block and most suppressors, and provides a good grip for medium sized hands without the need for panels. At 11oz it actually weighs less than a Magpul MOE rifle handguard.
Other tubular handguards are lighter, thinner, etc. but I haven't found one that beats the Rainier Evo for all-around versatility and value.
