What arrow rests?

I am thinking about upgrading my arrow rest, I currently have a trophy taker SL extreme on my bow. I have heard good things about the rip cords. What are you guys shooting or what would you recommend?

I just switched from a WB to the Ripcord SOS. Very happy with how it works.

Switched to a QAD Ultrarest HDX this year.
My Ripcord worked fine mechanically but I kept snapping that long, skinny plastic arrow retainment arm off. It tended to snag and break when I strapped my bow to my pack, or it hooked on brush and broke during the low prone crawl during a stalk. It was a repeating issue with me and a huge suprise when you go to draw after a long stalk and the arrow jumps out of the rest rattling aimlessly. I put up with it for a few seasons, but that rest may be a little fragile for some hunting styles.

I have a Trophy Taker Smackdown Pro Series arrow rest. It works great, Dont see what else you would need.
