[ATTACH=CONFIG]522961[/ATTACH]I don't use a seam ripper. I have a great little pair of snips that I clip every 3or 4 stitches on one side of my work. I then can pull off the thread from the other side and it is done. This method causes much less distortion of the fabric.

I have many different brands and types. I use whichever one I find and pick up first. Not much difference in them. I don't use one after it gets dull. That is about as sad as using a dull rotary blade.

It's the Dritz Purple Ergonomic seam ripper for me. Believe me - it feels like I've tried them all, I'm so good at un-sewing... Havel, Clover, Seam-Fix and others. This is my favourite, but difficult to get here

I use a tiny manicure scissor - the one with the skinny little blade.
Or the inexpensive one with the skinny blade/point that is around $1.50.
It did take me a while to realize that rippers get dull like rotary blades do. Duh!!!

Here's my favorite; a Dritz seam ripper from Walmart (not affiliated, they just happen to have a good pic of it):
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Soft-Grip-...ipper/19757837
The reason I like it is because it doesn't roll off the table when I set it down, and it fits perfectly in my hand.
I have other seam rippers including the Clover, but I'm in love with the Dritz ripper and as a celebration point, it's not the most expensive tool in my shed, which I can't often say of other tools I've purchased over the years!
