Shubb and the Planet Waves NS Capo. I used to use the Dunlop trigger years ago but that fell out of favor once I bought the Shubbs and NSs.

Favorite Capo

capos
I don't use capos a lot but seem to have quite a few: Keyser, Shubbs, Bird of Paradise, Planet Waves, G7 Newport, G7 Performance, Dunlop.
My favorite is the G7 Newport. Lagging well behind is the other G7 and the Planet Waves, then the Shubbs, and everything else is way behind them. I value ease of use, intonation issues (or lack thereof), and small footprint more than convenience, that I don't forget that.

I own and have tried many, the one I always use is the planet waves tri-action. One hand operation, I can adjust tension, fits easily on the headstock, rarely have to re tune and it doesn't break the bank, what more can I ask for.

It's still pretty new, so maybe this is a little premature, but I'm going to go ahead and say the Shubb Fine Tune (F1) capo -- I really like this design and how it is put together. Very easy, smooth, and fine adjustment.
I've also had good luck with the other Shubbs -- the Deluxe and the original. Not sure what I think about the G7 -- sometimes I think I like it and sometimes I wonder if I've quite got the hang of it. I really have not tried all the contenders out there, although I have tried Keyser and some similar capos and I'm not a fan. To each his or her own.

I'll never understand Elliott capos. Or rather, I don't understand spending 10x as much for a clamp that stops your strings. I could see the money on picks (but I'm a finger picker anyway), as they have something to do with sound production. On top of not being necessary, I find the Elliott's unattractively industrial looking.
I have a $12 Kyser and it does the job just fine.
