Shubb Capo

Is there a difference between Kyser Capos and Shubb Capos?

I'm starting to get into more advanced songs on my guitar, and noticed that some websites say that to play this song you need a capo. I looked up some at my local guitar shop and found a bunch of different capos, the main types being Kyser Capos and Shubb Capos. Not sure which one is better for me, just wanted to know if there is any real difference between them. My guitar is just a simple six string acoustic, nothing fancy.

I have used both the Kyser, the Shubb (and before that, the Jim Dunlop, Bill Russell, and about a gazillion others of all size and operational ease or difficulty.) When I use a capo, which is rare now that, after a few decades of playing guitar, I've gotten a pretty fair grasp on the chords up the neck and don't often need one, I prefer the Shubb. It's easy and fits most guitars with a minimum of hassle and clumsiness. I will say I've found the Kyser style better at quick change (oh yeah, you can attach them to the end of your guitar when not in use - the Shubbs have a tendency to fall off the PA head and get lost.)
