Only you can decide what rulers you want to use or need.

I don't have Sullivan rulers, but do they sharpen the cutter blade with each cut as is on the wrapper? They look like nice rulers.

I don't like the ones with the yellow over the markings, like Omnigrid.
I have a Betty Gall 24 X 6.5 ruler that I really love. Just have to make sure I know it is 6.5, not 6 inch. But the markings wore off. I can still use it if I use the markings on the mat. That ruler is 30 or more years old. My first love!
The one I really like is Quilt Sense. I have a 3 X 9 inch, which is soooo handy when trimming small things. Has very thin black lines. I haven't seen these in the stores much.
My Optima 12.5 square has thin black lines on one side, and thin yellow lines on the back. I love that one. Useful on light or dark fabrics.
My friend has one with thin white lines. I would like that if I bought another one. For a while, I bought a new ruler at each class; not necessarily needed for that class, but one I thought I would use. My latest is Creative Grids 60º Equilateral Triangle by Rachel Cross. Has alternate black and white thin lines. Works very well on my curent project: cutting triangles.

I think the creative grids rulers are the best on the market. My LQS uses them and now I'm hooked. They are wonderful

I have a couple June Tailor, MANY MANY OmniGrid/Grip 1 6x12, the rest are
the square sizes from 2" to 20", than I have 2 sizes of the TrueCut 6x24 & 3x18.
My MOST used rulers are my O'Lipfa rulers ABSOLUTELY LOVE the lip on them
to help me keep them straight I have the 3x18, 5x24 & 4x36.

I have sooooooooo many rulers that if I never bought another one I would
be just fine.

Of course I have given thoughts to downsizing my stash of rulers, but haven't
quite gotten to that stage yet.

My go to rulers are the Olfa frosted and Bloc Loc for making HST's. Can't piece without these.

My go-to rulers are the Omnigrid/Omnigrip ones. I love them!!
I have misc. ones like a half hexie and binding/strip one from M*QC, and a set of Tri-Recs (from ??)

I have several other rulers that are not square or rectangle.

One is the June Tailor "You Hexie Thing" that starts can make
1-1/2" up to 6" FINISHED size. So far never used it in fact I
just now took the plastic wrap off it.

I have many template type rulers also.

I love the Creative grids and the Bloc-Locs for squaring up.
I have been using my Accuquilt Studio for doing my strips. I get more consistency. I have most of the sizes now and it makes life so much easier, especially for large quantities.

I like my Omnigrids. I have a couple EZ Quilt from when I started quilting, and really dislike them--ridges on the bottom catch on things and lines are really thick so harder to be very accurate.

I have gradually acquired my rulers for specific projects/uses. Have a 6"x24", squares in 4.5, 5, 9.5 and 12.5 sizes (really like to use those to square up blocks--easier than moving one ruler around.) Also Tri-recs and a 60* triangle, and a June Taylor Dresden ruler (from a stack and whack class) and a fringe maker ruler for microfleece blankets. Couldn't do without my add-a-quarter for paper piecing.

Oh, and a set of charm quilt templates (half hex, tumbler, etc.) and some drunkard's path templates, which I really want to use but just haven't gotten to yet!

Most wasted cutting tool? My rotating mat. Just don't like using it.
