The problem with the BCM covers is they're so thin they do next to nothing for the heat. I've never been bothered by the thickness of the Magpul covers, but I have big hands.

Disclosure: I am affiliated PRN with a tactical training center, but I speak only for myself. I have no idea what we sell, other than CLP and training. I receive no income from sale of hard goods.
I like both the CA covers (on my CCU) and the Magpul Type 2 (also on my CCU).
I have the CA covers on the sides and Magpuls on the bottom. Works for me, barely less bulk and provides a flat surface in the bottom.
Magpul Type 2 on other uppers.
I really like the Railscales XOS MiniDots that I put on my Centurion M-Lok handguard. It's like they were made for it, but oddly the CA is not on the Railscale's list of compatible handguards. The G10 works great against heat, they are thin and have great traction. Their price is out of control though.
Gettin' down innagrass.

Dr. Carter G. Woodson, “History shows that it does not matter who is in power or what revolutionary forces take over the government, those who have not learned to do for themselves and have to depend solely on others never obtain any more rights or privileges in the end than they had in the beginning.”
Very much a personal preference, but I got the magpul type 2's and they work fine for me. Easy install, solid, grippy, affordable.

Not in my experience, especially when using a hand guard from a company besides BCM. The KM ones are more secure. I have the BCM ones on a URX4 and SLR Ion...they slide on both, and occasionally pop loose when doing a lot of dynamic shooting. Also, the BCM ones do a better job of heat protection if they can be utilized on the 130, 430, 730 and 930 angles. When I can only place on the 3, 6 & 9 of a hand guard, I prefer the Magpul type 2.
