my favorite is the 6 1/2" x 24" fluorescent laser cut ruler. it cuts WOF. and i can line it up perfectly because the laser cut is easy to see on the fabric/block. i should have gone with all fluorescents as they are easy on the eyes.

Quilter's Rule with the raised "grids" on the back was the ruler first recommended to me (over 20 years ago) is now one of my less liked rulers because the lines are so thick/wide.

I have two rulers that I couldn't live without. The first is the 8.5 x 24" Omnigrip and the second is the Easy Ruler Jr 3.5 x 9". I use the large one for all cutting and squaring up and the smaller one I use for trimming and the 45 degrees when needed. I do have about 20 different rulers, and have tried various ones, but, these two are my lifelines.

I always told my Beginning Quilting students that if I was stranded on a desert island with my quilty stuff, I would have to have the following rulers with me (All are Omni) 6" x 24", 3" x 18", 5 1/5" square and 1" x 6". You can do ANYTHING with that combo!

I like my 6.5X12 creative grid ruler. http://www.creativegridsusa.com/categories.cfm
It is frosted and sticks and the black lines are easy to read. I also have the 24 inch (?) one, my "yellow" lined rulers lay by the wayside!
