What you use depends on what you do.
Always get the best you can afford.
Don't let them be used for paper, buy cheep scissors for that.

I quilt so I use rotary cutters mostly. They make a better cut on long straight pieces. With practice you can use them for curves and corners.
If you get a rotary cutter get the set: cutter, ruler, and mat. You won't be disappointed.
There are youtube videos for instructions.
Rotary cutters are sharp Always, close them when not using . As always be careful.
