As others have said: Elliot or Paige. I’m a fan of yoke style.

My favorite too!

Shubb Deluxe for me but I really like the NS Capo Lite too. I've given a few away to my students.

I have a Thalia, G7th Performance 3, Elliott Elite and D'Addario Pro Plus. I invariably reach for my Shubbs (that I get in black chrome). To me, they sound better than the others: though for ease of use as well as good sound I like the D'Addario.

G7... I have a gold finish edition with the Celtic design on front. It looks pretty **** nice on an acoustic, and works great, easy on /off. Also have a brushed silver partial capo or as some call them cut capos. Put on second fret and depresses only 3,4,and 5. Has a turn knob to tighten down. Love that open sound. Great for fingerstyle play...

What capo is your favorite?

I too have a black G7th Performance 3 capo with a white Keltic design. It's actually my spare for my plain black Performance 3, but I do use the Keltic design one when playing in DADGAD. Just because.

I use a shubb and a G7. The Shubb I use if I am not doing lots of capo movement. Its very reliable. The G7 I use more for when I am experimenting or have to change capo position a lot. Both are ergonomically very good
