I don't have SS only cheap Nike SG, but i couldn't wear that ML band or even a steel bracelet band, hairy arms. Silver SS would be harder to match a band unless you like colours imo, i don't.
The bands i liked most for my S4 were UAG velcro and Nomad sport band. Nomad is more comfy than Apples sport only comes in black though i think.

I have a Gold SS with Gold Milanese and often wear other bands
Sports, sport loops and Apple leather loops.
During the day I normally have a sport loop on and if I go out or in the evenings I go back to the Milanese strap or my forest green leather loop.
That is what I love about the watch, it is so versatile.
Edit: I will add that the sports strap or loop I wear in the day always matches what I am wearing lol.

I have a Silver AL matched with one of several bands...today it's my SS band, but I also regularly use a blue Sport Loop, Brown leather strap and white Sport band
I have a wide range. Anything from U2 to Dance Gavin Dance.
Yes, I go back and forth with the sport bands too. The white sport band and SS is a very clean combo.
Right now, I've got the Nomad link bracelet and haven't changed the band in just under a week.
That's why you wear the steel bracelet anyways because it'll just pull all the hair out and it will become easier to wear.

I actually prefer my white sports loops over Nike Sport loop and leather band.
I got my original 38mm watch on launch day, and got a black sport band to go with it. I’m still using that same black sport band nearly five years later on my 40mm S4. Its held up astoundingly well, and works well as my daily band. I’ve never actually swapped it with anything else. After nearly five years of being banged around in a classroom, it still looks and works great.
I like the Nike sport bands. I especially like the Olive Flak and Celestial Teal ones. I like how they are designed with the holes, and that makes them more comfortable to wear and they look cool.
The only issue I have with the sport bands, it’s like they literally stick to your wrist on warmer days, they’re strong and durable with the flueroastamer, but perforated holes make a huge difference in the Nike band with airflow.
I have a s5 SB SS and I use the Apple leather loop most of the time. On rainy type days, I use the sport loop. The leather loop is very comfortable and stylish.
I switch them around often. Sport Bands and Loops get worn most. When I feel the need to dress things up a bit I switch to Leather Loop, leather from FFF or a Milanese. If I had to pick a go to, it would probably be the sport band. Nike bands in the warmer weather.

Sport Loop for work and sleep. Nike Sport Band for workouts. Amazon Milanese Loop for dressier occasions.
Nike band...the ONLY band I will use during exercise. I also wear those bands for work in the late spring/summer/early fall since it's always hot and humid, and I find these bands more comfortable than any other during that weather.
Sport loop...in the late fall/winter/early spring, this is usually my "day-to-day". I won't swap this one for another one to wear to work at these times of year.
Sport band...in the late spring/summer/early fall...this is my "day-to-day". Unlike the sport loop, I WILL swap this for a Nike band to wear to work at these times of year, as mentioned above.
Overall, I'd say the sport band is the type I wear most throughout the year. The rest are more "special case" usage. I also have one of those woven nylon bands (don't see them sold on Apple's site anymore) that I will wear once in a while if I feel like changing something up.

I've had Apple watches since the first one and I always wear the sports band. Its very light, comfortable, waterproof, durable, etc. I wear the Edition sports gray that came with my Ti/DCL and it even has a Ti/DCL pin. I want to try other colors but the silver pin bugs me. I prefer it to match the color or the case. I consider the apple watch as a tool only and not a fashion accessory like a Panerai etc so I have no desire to try and make it look fancy by trying different bands.
