Default Which capo for Composite Acoustic guitars fret radius ?

My Cargo's fretboard is not as flat as the fretboard of my Rainsong guitars, but, still, I find it less curved than most guitars I have owned. When I use a standard curved capo, I have to tighten the capo a lot in order not to have the middle strings buzz.
On the other hand, a flat capo for classical guitars tend to get the opposite result: the low E and high e strings tend to buzz, the middle strings are fine.
Can you suggest a capo that has the perfect curvature for Composite Acoustics guitars ? Thanks !

My G7 Performance 2 works perfectly on my GX. It has the same 14" radius as the Cargo.

+1 on the Planet Waves capo. It works just fine on the Cargo.
