At the moment.... Dunlop. Cheap, easy to reposition, fits every axe in my woodshed, and it looks good parked on the headstock.
Not to mention a fairly good grip exerciser. Which is important for us old guys with arthritis!

Re: "New Capo Which make?"
hi flatpicker,
I use a KYSER for just now. Had it for about 3 years and never had any bother with it.
Since it is a quick clamp style it goes on very easy and mostly first time, I never have to reposition it. It cost me £10.99 but I am sure you can get them cheaper now on the likes of That auction site on the net.
I have never had to but it looks like once the rubber has worn down it can be renewed.
BUT, when I am ready for a new one I am getting one like my mates, but I dont know what it is called. Reason for changing is I dont find the KYSER is really good for a 12 string guitar. The one my mate has is made of aluminium and gives a right good grip and is good on a 12 string too.
Some people have said that KYSERs give too strong a grip and can damage the neck of your guitar but I have never had any trouble nor have i any indents from it so I would disagree with them. And if there was that much bother with them, they would not be as popular as they are.

I use a G7th. One handed operation on and off with a quick release. Easy to stop all the strings first time, without bending bottom e. And it looks like a bit of class.
