I actively dislike my Creative Grids rulers. There is way too much "activity" on them. I have to pay close attention to what I am trying to do when using them of I "lose my place."
Not quite as much as I dislike the gridded Quilter's Rule ones, though. I don't like the thick lines created by the grids.
I love my Olfa frosted ones. They are "plain and simple" and don't slip (for me, anyway). Plain and simple as in - easy to read, the lines are thin, and they show up on almost everything.
They Omnigrid rulers with the yellow lines - they were "the best" when they came out. They are in my middle range. I am fond of the 1/8 inch gridded 4x8 one . That one is wonderful for cutting small scraps accurately. I also like the 1/8 inch gridded 3x18 inch Omnigrid ruler. I did put the sandpaper circles on them to minimize slipping.
It's good that more than one style is available!
