Well, I'm still open to the Focus Band/Sash comments, so I'm willing to listen. If I see enough votes on unbanning one of them, that's fine. I'm not unbanning both.
I think most people are in agreement that band should be banned (no pun intended). Nobody is going to use it anyway. 10% chance to survive a deadly blow is too low to rely on. It'd be best to rely on an item that you can actually rely on.
Focus sash gives you a 100% chance of surviving with 1 HP if you get knocked out in ONE hit. That means Stealth Rock and other entry hazards kill this item. On top of that, it means this item can't be used on Tanks (like Metagross) to allow them the last laugh when they know they're going down in one more hit. The item is far from broken; you have to know how to use it right, or it won't work at all.
