I've always been partial to the flexible, fuzzy ones.

i like the blue pmi ones, they bend in half, and are fuzzy and clean out the barrel sooooooo nice.

I prefer the fuzzy ones too, they just work real nice.
I had a Redz squeegie, and it was a piece of crap. It cost a lot of money too, so when chunks of red fuzz were getting stuck in my barrel i got a little angry.
They should make a pull-through that has a fuzzy tip.

Java makes one. I forget the name. The fuzzy things on it are starting to fall out one by one but its still really good for me. Its also got the ring thingies in front of the fuzzy part. The're this weird foam stuff though, not rubber. They still work good though.

I made my own, and i'm satisfied with it.
1. wrap a wooden rod in electrical tape
2. do it again with another one
3. tape them together, but leave a gap between wood, but have it taped there. (so it folds)
4. Jam a piece of foam onto one end of the rod
5. Wrap a rubber band around the outer side of the foam, so when you pull the squeegee thru, the foam wont slide off
6. super-glue the foam and rubber band onto the rod for added effienciency and reliability.
7. let the glue dry, and youre all set. Make sure the tape is holding.
It's a cheap way out, but I was bored one day and didn't feel like going down to the paintball shop, so I made one. Crazy enough, the old thing is still in awesome shape, and works great.
I call it the Mullen-Squeegee. Don't worry, you can make one too, I wont sue you, or charge huge royalties. Afterall, I'm not the President of Smart Parts or anything.....;)

My friend has that. It's not that bad, but due to past experiences I personally try to avoid brass eagle.

There's an article on stockclasspaintball.com on how to make your own squeegee for $3 or so...http://www.stockclasspaintball.com/articles/backtobasics3.shtml

My experience,
I have and used both the VL Proflex jerk squeegee
http://www.countypaintball.com/images/proflex_squeegie.jpg
and the PMI Delux Jerk Squeegee
http://store6.yimg.com/I/actionvillage_1756_185729321
Here is what I have found from using both of these.
The Delux squeegee with works wonders on my Scepter but if it goes through a non-stepped barrel with porting it snags on the porting and the swab leaves "fuzzies" in the barrel and causes breaks. For stepped barrels, where the porting is in the larger diameter part of the barrel it works great.
The Proflex, what can I say. It looks like a cheap piece of plastic but is a true work horse of the paintball world. At $1-3 depending on where you get it they are the cheapest squeegee out there but worth every penny. It cleans barrels like a jainitor on crack, and can be rolled up to if any sized pocket.
Down side to both of these they are jerks, so that means you have to unscrew you barrel to use them.

I use a battleswab for ingame (the big fuzzy stick). After the game I'll use a long flexable squeegie though.

hey you makin' funna my squeegee?? http://www.thesportsauthority.com/graphics/product_images/p101046reg.jpg that one would be the one that I got for free with my paintball gun cause the guy was so retarded and he said "oh this brass eagle will work wonders in your new piranha" heh... I use it in my backup gun which if you get a break in 2 guns and don't have time to use a fuzzy squeegee, you're screwed anyway! just head to the dead box and utilize that brass eagle product! lol jk... I do though use it for my backup and it works pretty "umm it worked ok? it's not like it will do anything cool" I'd go with any sort of fuzzy soft absorbing squeegee.. Use a straight shot or pull through afterword for a thorough clean
