Been struggling with grip strength during rack pulls, what would be your suggestions for straps?

I have been using an old pair of bb.com straps.
Glock. Love my 10mm
Oh, sorry. Wrong strap....

I just have a set of those old school tan colored straps, love using them when I go heavy. I'm able to concentrate on pulling much better with them.

Versa grips
My suggestion would be to work on your grip strength. If you can't hold it you can't lift it. Masturbate more.
The gasp ones were the nicest I used
If you’re going to use straps, my only answer is Scheik with the built in wrist wrap. Best straps ever.

I’ve owned a pair of Schiek straps that I bought for upper back work when I first started training in 2013.
Still in excellent shape and condition to this day.

Versa Gripps
I also use them for pressing movements.
The flap lays across the palm of your hand and the bar lays across that.... it sort of spreads the load across your hand somewhat.
I warmup and do some working sets without, and use the straps when grip becomes limiting factor.

Heavy farmer walks to improve your grip strength.
If you need to use straps, though, the Schiek ones are good. I use them for heavy rowing.

Figure 8 straps. Nothing like em
@Test_Subject nailed it. Farmers for the win. So many benefits beyond even just grip but they help grip tons

Also great if you want your traps to touch your ears

My problem is lack of upper middle back density, my upper traps are well developed e feel, but the middle traps are the ones that need a lot of work.

I really like the Versa grips.

Maybe try throwing some chest supported rows in there. Or other movements that take some of the momentum out of heavy pulling movements like barbell.row Etc
