What type of capo do you use ?

[Scriptor]

I have at least a dozen Shubbs.  They also work great for cut capos.

+1 ... I also really like the 3 string partial Shubb ... opens up a whole new world ...

I have a few Kyser capo's.  I love them.  I would highly suggest them to anyone.

Never gave much thought to my capo, but seeing this thread I checked, looking for a brand.
It's a Kyser, and is also stamped 06-04 but I don't know what that means. 
Works well, never had a problem. 
Spring is pretty stout though, and I imagine if I used light strings this capo might make 'em all go a little sharp.

I usea Shubb. I actually have two of them. I like them because they are easy to attach to the guitar and securely hold down the strings. Plus thay have a minimalist, narrow profie, making them easy to use and do not get in the way of my hand. I also like the way they look, and because they are small, the don't take up any spce in the compartment in my case, and easily fit into my pocket.

Since this thread, I've poked around on Youtube for more info, and seems like the Schubb has a lot of fans, but also some caveats, and I'm interested if you all think they're that big of an issue.
#1. Schubb with adjustment screw is tedious if placing on different frets (as opposed to spring/Kyser style that self-adjusts)
#2. Schubb is prone to popping off if you bump the cam/locking lever whilst playing.

Regarding your concerns, and speaking from my experience, I would comment that...:

1.  If someone finds turning an adjustment screw 1/2 turn now and again 'tedious', I would say they have significant issues with their short term attention span.   
2.  In the several years I've been using Shubb capos, I've never once had it pop off while playing.  There is enough tension on the lever that it would take a significant and deliberate knock to pry it open.

I would counter that the Shubb allows you the flexibility to adjust the tension to whatever neck profile you are playing while preventing the possibility of too much downward pressure forcing the guitar out of tune (a common complaint of the spring-type capos).  In addition, the low profile design does not impede your ability to play complex chords naturally and comfortably at the first position, something that is difficult to do with the pistol grip designs...

the one thing i noticed with the original Shubb & i am uncertain if the concern has been
addressed in a more current version or revision, as the capo i bought was around 02-03,
but on a Rainsong WS1000, it would not hold adequate tension to be used on the first fret &
with the tension adjustment max'd out, there was insufficient travel to be used effectively

one could say that was due to the neck profile on the guitar, but the capo was designed for
an acoustic & i also noticed that the length of the pad or 'leg' was not quite long enough to
be used on a 12 string with 1 7/8" nut (like the G7th, there is a separate 12 string model)

otherwise, i feel the shubb works well & they also make a 'lite' model & one with a black finish,
that would make it 'nearly' invisible when used on a guitar with ebony fretboard under low light

No love for the Paige capo it seems.   
I have a G7th Performance, G7th Newport, several Shubbs, Kysers, and a Paige.
They all have their strengths, but I find myself using the Paige, as I can roll it passed the nut and keep playing.

A bronze Dunlop Victor. Keep your capos that double as clip for the tostado bag. Johnny Cash and I will keep our Victors (actually I'm safekeeping his until he needs it again).

I have the Kyser quick change spring loaded capo and the little Planet waves with the thumbscrew.  The spring loaded is fast but some  folks report getting slight dents on the back of the neck if they are used a lot (because it's not adjustable and spring is pretty strong).  Adjustable is better as you only put on the force required to fret the strings.  The little Planet Waves is nice but it takes a little longer for me to put it on.  With practice it can be  applied with one hand.

[Magster24]

I use Kyser capos.  I like them more after they've been "worn in" a bit.  I think this is because the spring tension has reduced over years of use compared to my newer ones.  I've seem some people use a rubber band with the Kysers to lesson the tension.

Never really needed to try any other kind.

[CodeBlueEMT]

 I use a G7th Performance capo.

I like the Planet Waves NS Capo.  I have one for each of my guitars.

+1 - really easy to work with
