versus G formula, no experience.
I have experience with the graphtech string savers with the tusq (or whatever it is) insert and I love them. No ping sound when bending. I like the string savers over the regular graphtech saddle. The regular graphtechs for a fender type bridge cut out some of the high end, which would be good if you have an overly bright guitar or wanted a more woody sound.
These are the ones I use; https://graphtech.com/collections/string-saver-saddles-electric/products/copy-of-string-saver-classic-saddles-prs-black
For the TOMs no experience, but I say give 'em a try, you might like them.

I have one of those TOM-style bridges with those saddles on my pseudo-LP, and it works well. I also use a lotta TUSQ "string saver" saddles on a variety of other bridges. I use the TUSQ material a lot to make nuts, and it seems to be a surprisingly hard material, which leads me to believe it's not absorbing vibration like one might expect from a composite material. If you take a handful of them and toss them in your hand, they make a sorta "tinkle" sound, as if they were glass or something. The stuff doesn't seem to wear much, so overall I'd always use that product given a choice.
