I may just end up getting one VTAC and one VCAS for the two AR’s. Thanks guys.

I’ve had both, not bad slings, but IMHO, they both have some minor flaws. You will figure it out.
No vtac experience, buy have had a vcas for years and recently got a slingster.
I like the vcas material stiffness, the slingster slickness, and the slingster adjustment is slightly better (smoother/quicker).
I prefer the unpadded vcas on my shoulder, because its low-profile and I dont carry my rifle for hours. If I did, Id swap to the slingster. Functionally very similar with small pluses and minuses that probably wont matter.
I think it depends on setup and how you interface with it. Loose ends flying around would drive me out of my gourd.

Own the BFG and you can't go wrong with it.
Another option is the Larue Tactical Padded Sling. The only drawback is it has the QD swivels sewn into the webbing, so if you have something other than a QD socket on your rifle, you'd have to get the mounts.
Experience is a cruel teacher, gives the exam first and then the lesson.
I own both the padded and unpadded VTAC and the VCAS Victory model. I prefer the unpadded VTAC with my IOTV (2 deployments and over a decade of service) it's easier to adjust and it doesn't foul up on things. The hanging piece of sling used to bug me, but never became an issue (YMMV). The new version of the VTAC has a Velcro keeper that prevents the dangling. The VCAS is very good when I am wearing civilian clothes, but the padded VTAC is very good too. I was a little disappointed with my last VCAS as it had more buckles than my older version did.
Unfortunately, this is one those things that's best answered by trying both and seeing which one you prefer. You might want to look at the Ferro Concept slingster, I'm looking at it as a possible next sling.

Own several VCAS and only one VTAC.
I run a lot of VCAS slings and have owned the VTAC in the past. I like the wider/thicker webbing on the VCAS, as compared to the thinner webbing on the VTAC. I also run the Magpul MS1 padded slings and have been buying the Ferro Concepts Slingster a lot lately. All of them are solid slings and you can't go wrong with any of them.

Switched from the VTAC to the VCAS because it felt like a cleaner setup once on the rifle. As previously mentioned only one tab for adjustment.
