I just have one from Walmart. I guess that's why I try extra hard not to have to rip!! But, when I do, it's no fun. I hate having to rip. Takes too much time.

Just got an excellent tip from Lacey Hill of Golden Tyme Designs. Did a class with her last week and she showed us her seam ripper; from Joann's and the cheapest one they make.
She showed us how to rip out an entire seam with one stroke.
GENIUS.

Clover brand, brown with rather flat handle. I hear there's a round-handled one, same brand, but I haven't found it. I have a number of seam rippers, and I always go back to Clover with the brown handle.

I'm a guy, so I use my pocket knife--which I keep extremely sharp. I too, really hate ripping. Don't mind sewing it once--hate to do it twice..............

Clover and Fons and Porter. The Fons and Porter just feels better in my hand for some reason.

My first choice is Clover tho I've been known to use the one for the serger. I've had 2 Fons & Porter ones. They have nice large, soft handles which are also perfectly round, love to roll, fall off the table and the point breaks off. Quilt Shop replaced the first one. Several years ago I emailed them and suggested they square off the handle but never heard from them. I don't spend money twice on the same thing.

That's my favorite kind as well. I want to get a couple more.
