If you want the Cadillac of cutters and mats take a look at the Martelli ones.

I have had the Ergo cutter for about 6 years. It is one of the easiest to use tirelessly. You can cut many layers. It rolls like a rolling pin. The mats are self-healing and made out of heavy material. The rulers do not skid. The company is fantastic to deal with. When I had a problem, I mailed the cutter back to them and they replaced it.
