all of them work, but avoid overtightening

someone will say don't use Hope, but I've used them for years with no problems

Shimano, end of thread.

i wouldnt even consider using anything else.
they stay smooth for ages, all the others ive used get very hard to use as the bush wears out on them.

Shimano. Everything else is inferior.

Absolutely nothing wrong with Shimano skewers. 😉

Yep, Shimano here. Avoid the DT Swiss RWS unless you never remove your rear wheel - the plastic-resin splines strip far too easily and don't appear to be available as spares. Shame as otherwise they're a nice idea.
