I have and use both Fiskar's and Ginghers. I have to admit that I use my Fiskar's with the spring handle more than my Gingher's which are the same size. They are much lighter and there is much less stress on my hand when cutting
(FYI: Both Fiskar and Gingher are owned and made by the same corporation. If you go to the Gingher web site there is a link to the Fiskar web site.)

Just the plain Fiskars for $10. They have left handed ones too. When they get dull they get demoted to house hold scissor. Friskars would be my second choice. Heard good things about the Gingher ones. Just too pricey for me as my kids and DH "borrow" and use my scissors for all kinds of stuff rendering them useless for quilting.

Ginghers are very good, and they have a sharpening service on their brand of scissor, if you live in the USA. I have a pair of Serasharp (hope the spelling is correct) that have served me for over 30 years of solid use as well as some Solingen which have been equally as good.
