Which ruler do you use most?

I use a 18 x 24 mat so I need the 24 x 6 ruler. I only cut through two layers at a time on the first cut because doubling it again sometimes produces wonky cuts. I will stack 6 to 8 layers of strips to cut into squares. I used to cut squares to sell on ebay and I could probably cut faster with these tools than someone with an Accucut. And no waste!

My indispensable rulers are my 3.5x18, shape cut, and 6.5x6.5. To me 6x24 just seems awkward. I have a 24x36 mat, but prefer to fold my fabric one more time and use the smaller rulers. Is anyone else like me?

I use my 5X24 with a lip most. At least I thought it was 5". After reading a bunch of these threads, I'm wondering if it is 6". I hope not, because if it is I cut a gazillion squares out wrong yesterday. Okay--out to the studio to look.
