I use the same set up -- R5 + Grip + RF100-500 (with 1.4x TC) -- with both BlackRapid Sports Breathe Strap and Peak Design Slide Strap, except both straps are modified with QD ends.
Both straps are comfortable. With the BlackRapid, I feel more secure than with the Peak Design. With the Peak Design, however, I can slide the strap shorter or longer much easier. The only thing that I do not like about the Peak Design's is those thin strings between the quick release buttons and the strap. For light gear, I'd feel more confident; but for our set up, I'm always wondering about the load tolerance of those thin strings.
I once dropped my gear due to a defective QD, so I now use a safety tether along with the main strap, one QD to the R5 L-bracket and one QD to the lens plate. An added benefit to this set up is that my gear doesn't swing around my waist as much and is more balanced.
Here's the QD modification with BlackRapid strap:

Here's Peak Design Slide Strap with a safety tether, both with QD end:

Can you say what security tether are you using?
It's this one by OpTech, minus the plastic end part of the first item. I cut it off in order to use it as a safety tether.
