When I first got the R, I thought the control ring adapter would be the one to get. But I found myself not using it. Eventually I found a decent deal on the basic adapter, and I've stuck with that one since.
Also, something I haven't seen talked about, and a big thing that turned me off on the control ring. Does anyone else feel like the ring is just too easy to turn? I didn't want to assign an important setting to it for fear I would accidentally bump it and throw off my settings.
Last, like someone else said, with the added wheel on the R5, it just makes the control ring that much less important to have.
I'd say go for the basic or the filter adapter, unless there's a setting that you can assign the ring to that you think would really help your shooting style. Be aware that the number of things you can assign the ring to is somewhat limited though.
