I may be alone in this but I found I take more shots when I use a wrist strap like this one: link. Also less touristy.
I'm late to the party, but I swear by Blackrapid. It's attached to my X-T2 and has been the same strap I have been using for more than a decade.
For my X-100T, I've gotten great mileage out of the Joby DSLR wrist strap.
Straps I've bought trying to find THE ONE:
The ones that have leather are using corrected-grain stuff that is not structural, so even if it might degrade over time, it won't hurt the function. Unless you're trying to be vegan, I wouldn't worry about it.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=wrist+strap&rh=n%3A560798%2Ck%3Awrist+strap These are my choices from Amazon, bonus points for Prime. Anyone have any experience with one of them?
Considering something like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hama-Fabric-Strap-Digital-Camera/dp/B00EU8OISI/ref=sr_1_9?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1467699924&sr=1-9&keywords=wrist+strap or https://www.amazon.co.uk/Joby-DSLR-Wrist-Strap-Charcoal/dp/B00F5JH9FU/ref=sr_1_12?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1467700132&sr=1-12&keywords=wrist+strap or https://www.amazon.co.uk/Joby-DSLR-Wrist-Strap-Charcoal/dp/B00F5JH9FU/ref=sr_1_12?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1467700132&sr=1-12&keywords=wrist+strap . They each look pretty sturdy.
Not sure how a hand strap will offer any benefit over a wrist strap - with a heavy setup like the E-M1/40-150, a hand strap will only serve to tether the weight to your wrist. When walking around/not actively shooting, you will want the weight distributed either in a bag or sling, not your wrist.
If you don't already have the vertical grip for the E-M1, I'd get that first. In terms of wrist straps, simple is best: Joby wrist strap. The Peak Design Cuff and Leash looks nice too. The good thing about wrist straps is that they work both in horizontal and vertical grip - not so with hand straps.
I would also avoid any straps that involve screwing into the tripod mount. You will have to constantly check whether the screw is loose - otherwise you can drop your camera. As mentioned before you can't even set your camera down flatly with the lug installed.
What strap were you using before? I sure hope it's not the one that came with the camera.
The a5100 is perfect for you. Try it out if you can before you buy it. I travel with mine and never felt like I needed an electric viewfinder. I almost strictly use it for photography. While walking through cities I keep it in my hand with a heavy duty wrist strap then toss it in a camera wrap in my city pack when not in use.
