I think I need to talk about benching in general first. You use your lats when you're lowering the weight and also when you break inertia (begin the lift). After that, your shoulders and lastly your triceps get involved. A bench uses your whole body and not just a few muscles. That's why it's one of the Big 3.

The slingshot doesn't take your shoulders and triceps out of the lift. It's an aid that helps you with your form and the initial portion of the lift. You're still performing work. It's not a bench shirt. There is a BIG difference.

I think for bodybuilders the reactive (blue) slingshot would be best.
Looks like it jumps you out of the hole thus making it possible to lock out heavier loads.
Looks like a nice training aid......I will pick one up
