I voted other, because I use both a store-bought neck strap, AND a harness - it just depends on the situation. I always leave the neck strap attached. But when I'm going to be doing a good bit of walking I will attach the harness and use it.
Grant, that's a good approach. I'm a harness guy, but I find that sometimes, I just hang the harness over my neck like a neckstrap because I'm just doing a short trip or I have a big jacket on.
Harness, not bra! Actually, I fit into the other category as well, because I often have my camera on the harness, and my bins on a wrist strap. If only someone would make a harness that would accommodate both!
Right now I use the neck strap that came with the binoculars. With my last two pairs I used a Neoprene strap that I had bought separately. I have used a harness occasionally, but I don't like it because it's harder to get on and off. I also didn't notice much reduction in back pain while wearing it.
Live in NJ, work the Corporate life by day, try to be an amateur naturalist the rest of the time. I currently volunteer as an Associate Naturalist for the NJ Audubon Society.

I really should get a harness...after a long day of birding my neck hurts.

Corey, join the clan of the binocular bra!
I've been using a harness but may have to stop now that you've referred to it as a bra.
