here's a vote for Shubb. i have the "original C series" model and it's an excellent little device.

I use capos a lot...this is my favourite:



it's made by Jim Dunlop

I have one of the standard Keyser clamps, and it's not very good. It was clearly made for flat Gibson-style fretboards, if i put it on any of the first three frets the E and A strings end up semi-muted. Pretty annoying.

I'm a Shubb fan, myself.  The fact that you can adjust the tension helps eliminate tuning problems.  Kysers are okay, but you always have to retune, and I think sometimes the pressure isn't equal across the fingerboard.

Shubb makes a capo especially for 7.25" radius fretboards: http://www.shubb.com/capos/model4.html

I love the G7th capo:

I found you don't have to retune as much (or at all) with them.

I've got a shubb for my electrics, and one of those forearm exercisers (I'm guessing it's a Keyser) for my acoustic, doesn't throw my acoustic out, but it does a number on my electrics.

Yeah, here's another vote for Shubb. Yannis, I like yours though. Nice and minimal.

G7th. It's awesome. And it smells like seaweed.

"kyser soze"

never let me down.

I use Kyser acoustic Capo's. I like the variety they offer. I have a couple of the standards, a 12 string model, and a couple of the shorties. I also have 2 of a modified version modified version that I use for a special, alternate tuning. I have never used a capo on my electrics.

Come on now, be honest, you stole that from Batmans utility belt. 

These are kind of cool - they're quick like Kyser or Dunlop Trigger capos, but you can adjust the tension:

Planet Waves Dual-Action

I use one of these. Dunno what its called. It looks like a Victorian torture implement.

You can adjust the tension on these too....



It's not spring-loaded like some of the ones above but it's another one to consider I suppose.
