What's the best capper?

I have always used the two handle black capper and have never had and issue. Before that I tried one of a friends that you had to tap with a mallet ..... boy was that a disaster. I prime with corn sugar dissolved in boiling water and stir it into the bottling bucket . Always have great carbonation.

I think the main difference is what types of bottles you can cap. The butterfly one only caps a specific type, while the bench capper can cap any rolled rim bottle. It might be easier to acquire bottles from friends with the bench style, but getting bottles is never much trouble now, is it? What is the price difference in the two? That is probably the biggest factor to consider.

Ok, so what type of bottle do the butterfly ones cap?  I'm new to this and I was planning on reusing bottles I got from the distrubitor soon.  I thought that the only requirment was that they not be of the twist off varitey.

 

Best capper is a .22 with a silencer.
