It only took one strap failure to result in an extensively cracked body and a smashed tone pot for my first bass. For my second bass, I got a Planet Waves locking strap. Excellent investment.
It didn't help that I dropped the first one from about 4 feet onto a granite tile floor, either.

I was practicing (making a lot of noise) this morning and my strap button pulled out. What is the best way to fix this? Should I just get a slightly larger screw? Should I fill the hole in with toothpicks and wood glue, drill a new pilot hole, and re-use the existing screw?

I use a Planet Waves locking strap and I think because the plastic ends are really tough it creates too much leverage on the button which is why it pulled out. I might switch back to a regular leather strap so this doesn't happen again.

First of all.... never buy a guitar player a "pretty" strap.

Is he a redditor?

I use Planet Wave locking straps. They're totally reliable, easy to adjust, and don't damage your guitar at all. The lock is plastic, but backed with a soft rubber so it doesn't scratch. If you're using it on a bulkier guitar, it might scuff a little (this happened on my acoustic. Read this guy's review). I use the cheaper polypropylene strap, but they have leather, satin, and some kind of soft fabric (comes in different designs!), which I haven't tried. Some of them can be kind of pricey. Also somebody wrote a review that the locking mechanism can break, but I haven't seen anything like that happen with mine, and I've had it for ~3 years, so it's probably fine if you're not too rough with it.
