R’ Chaim Twerski Shlit”a holds like the Raavad (1, 3) and originally tied like the GR”A using all blue Chulyos, using the Chabad/Chassidishe Chulya. However, he has changed his mind and now tells people to tie like the GRA alternating blue and white. He follows R Yitzchok Brand’s Shitta. The general pattern for GR”A is 4-4-4-1. String ratio is unclear.
From a recent email:
” I learned first the Chabad method. When I saw the Teiman method I realized that it is much the same but much neater and realizing that the concept is the same I used this method. I never did learn how to do it myself, but I found someone who did know how. i have recently changed to the Shita of R. Amram Gaon for several reasons, mostly based on a monograph by R. Yitzchok Brand.”

V2.0 . GR"A as per one Shitta Yeshivat Otniel uses.This uses Yemenite Chulyos and Rambam ratio. It's been conveyed that R' Meir Soloveitchik now wears like this as does R' Reem. R' Chaim Twerski switched to this after the Chabad tying because he like how it looked and realized it had the same effect.
