Default Capo for Crossover?

I am looking for a good capo for a crossover (wide neck + radiused). I usually use a Paige capo on my steel strings and I really like it but it is not wide enough to use on my New Taylor NS......anyone have any recommendations?

a typical shubb should be fine......I've owned 1 7/8 steel strings before and they work perfectly....

Default Capo on Taylor NS24ce

I went through this when I got my NS24ce last December. I found an old Shubb that I had for some reason (I probably was looking for something different a while ago). Anyay, it works well on the Taylor.

All of my capos seem to work fine on the Cordoba Fusion 14RS with its 1&7/8" neck; Shubb, Kyser Quick Change, Dunlop Trigger & Planet Waves NS all seem to work fine with a correct placement behind the fret needing a bit of adjustment depending on which one...

I use the same G 7th Capo as on my steelstring with my Taylor NS.

I guess paige capo's are the only ones that will not work with the wider nut width. I ordered a wide nut paige so I am taken care of now. Thanks for all of the responses.
