Default Cutting Mat or Rotary Cutter?

A quilting friend and I have been discussing having issues with our rotary cutter/mat. We each have two different brands of cutters and mats. We are having issues when attempting to cut our fabric strips; the rotary cutter seems to skip areas when cutting alongside the ruler. We both have tried new blades including titanium blades and the issues seem to persist.
I have read several times that the issue may not be the rotary cutter but the cutting mat. Since we have used new blades I am beginning to think that perhaps this is correct!! Opinions here??

I know I will most likely get a dozen different answers to this question. LOL so here goes.....

What brand of cutting mat is your favorite to use. Is one mat brand better then another?? Does one brand last longer than another??

As always, thank you for all of your wisdom, quilters!
