Third loop hybrid, officially a series now. I think this works the most "naturally" well out of the three, less pure pencil puzzle logic and more combined logic. Let me know what you think:)
Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Using orthogonal lines, draw a non-intersecting loop through the centres of some cells that passes through every grey clue. Digits on every straight line segment that touches a clue must have a sum equal to the clue’s value.
- In case of a ?, <, or > clue, the value of that clue must be the same value for all line segments that touch it.
Enjoy!
Solution code: Row 2, followed by row 6.

Hard but fair, with some new and interesting geometry logic.

Is it allowed for a straight line to go through a gray cell? (Without turning, e.g. a single line from r1c4 to r1c8)
- Certainly is!
:D

Can the loop have diagonal lines?
- It cannot, I'll add it to the rules:)
