I have usually used Praxis Wavetech 1x chain rings on the gravel bike however I am not finding great durablity. Yesterday the chain came off when using the large cogs in the cassette at the rear. Such a drop happens rarely but is a sign the chainring needs replacing.

I am interested to hear other recommendations, only requirement is 5-bolt 110BCD. Hope Narrow-Wide rings look good, I am interested to hear the experiences of other riders.

There's not a million out there, but I've always had great results with WolfTooth.

been using Garbaruk the last 5 years and really happy with how they last and work. Now I got Garbaruk chainrings on all my bikes :)

TA Specialites do really, really nice 1x rings. Very under rated.

Another vote for SRAM. However, it is 11 speed only; no 12 speed 110 BCD available.

That is okay, it is going on a Praxis Zayante 110 5-bolt BCD spider with Rival mechanical so should work okay
