Default Which ruler(size) to use with slidelock?

Hi! I'm new here and glad that I finally signed up. Thanks to this forum I discovered Slidelock while I was searching posts talking about cutting (wof/accurately...etc) and I decided to give it a try. I ordered 24" one. My question is.... what size/shape of rulers would be good to have to use with slidelock? To mesure narrow AND wide strips (WOF), I'm thinking a big square one (16", 18", or 20" and I don't have any of those) would be useful...? My cutting mat is 36x24 and my table size is 45x24 so a gigantic 20" square ruler may not be practical for that setting.. I have a 24x6 ruler so I could use that to get a maximum 24" strip but I wonder how accurate I could get only lining up 6" with the cut edge....and again, my table may not be long enough to do that way.... I'm qurious what other slidelock users have/do. I'm pretty anxious to try the new toy which will be here early next week and hope it'll help me to cut better and easier. Thank you in advance everyone :-)
