Omnigrid most definitely and if you can find/afford go for their Omnigrip range.

These have integral sandpaper dots which dont cover over a crucial measurement ....
like the 2 1/2" junction on my 6 1/2" ruler! D'OH!!

Creative grids ? Are they the ones with RED Markings???
My first ruler had red markings and I could never see them on the fabrics... Be Warned!

No, Creative Grids have black markings and are FAB.  A bit pricey but very grippy.

Another vote for Omnigrip from me too - wouldn't be without mine. And my fantastic DH bought me a 20" square ruler for our 30th anniversary a couple of weeks ago. <3 Well-trained, or what?
