With a DSLR and anything other than say a 50mm prime I always found the best way to carry was over my shoulder with the camera the 'wrong way round' if you will. Ie lens pointing in to my body rather than out.
This way the lens tucked in behind my back rather than sticking out where it could be bumped into by people. If you have a flash fitted it tips the camera out a bit more if you wear it the normal wear, tucks it into your body more if you wear it this way.
I think this maybe helps with the straps getting in the way too as if you have the camera on say, your right shoulder then when you bring it to your eye the strap going to the left lug tends to get pulled down, away from eyepiece and strap on the right lug is looser so more easily controlled by your hand.
If I was carrying two bodies I'd either carry like this on either shoulder or set one strap short and one long and carry on the same shoulder.
