I'm hoping to buy a new cutting mat this weekend at Joann's big sale. We can buy 1 regular price item at 1/2 price, and I want to get a really good one...

Which is the best?

I like Olfa ... but they can have a strong odor if they have not have time to air out.

Olfa seems to be the best to me but as stated above, it does have a strong odor when first purchased.

I like Omnigrid, but mine were purchased 10 yrs. ago. I don't think the quality of anything is what it used to be. I think it also helps if the make of your ruler is the same as your cutting mat.
