I had a planet waves strap on my old KM150 and it worked great. I'm using one on my Eastman MD505 and it also works great. Easy to install, comfortable on the shoulder, very simple.

That's the strap I use on all of my mandolins. Inexpensive and sturdy.
I use this strap on my Kentucky KM900 A style mandolin. The guy at the Mandolin store said this was the best one they recommended for A styles. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F323156374398

Whatever you choose, make sure it' leather. Almost anything else has the potential to mess up the finish of your mandolin.
