for travel: the foogo for milk, a camelbak for water.
for home: the lollacup for milk/smoothies, zolicup for water.

I would just get one and see if you like it. Going straight to straw is simplest, but it didn't work for us because Lo didn't drink enough volume (and is small). For straw cups, the biggest different is how many pieces you have to clean/how hard it is to put together...

The playtex one sold now no longer has the section to squeeze and is very difficult for our LO to drink from. He likes this cup: http://m.toysrus.com/skava/static/product.html?type=TRU_product_us&url=%2Fproduct%2Findex.jsp%3FproductId%3D35407836%26cagpspn%3Dplab_18583407%26camp%3DPLAPPCG-_-PID18583407%3ABRUS%26eESource%3DCAPLA_DF%3A35407836%3ATRUS&domain=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.toysrus.com&productId=35407836&cagpspn=plab_18583407&camp=PLAPPCG-_-PID18583407:BRUS&eESource=CAPLA_DF:35407836:TRUS

Zoli is great for water (but leaks for everything else). It was the easiest for her to learn from

I also like the Munchkin click lock... But my absolutel favourite is the Vital Baby straw cup...no leaks, easy to put together, and easy for her to drink from. I've bought a bunch of them!!

My personal favorite is the thinkster by think baby. Haven't had leaking issues with milk or water. I like that everything comes apart for cleaning and you can buy replacement straws and spouts!
I'm using the Zoli right now with the baby for water. Only because it's smaller than the TB so easier for her small hands etc. but the thing leaks like a b!tch if you don't screw the lid on just right. But since it's just water, not a big deal. I definitely won't be using it when she starts milk!

@QBbride: @littlejoy: does the wow cup come apart completely for cleaning? @qbride did you try it with milk yet?

@Charm54: how long have you used the vital baby cup and have you used it with milk?

Foogo for milk on the go, take and toss w/ straw for drinks at home. Have used zoli and lollacup but both leak, so I switched to the simple (easy to clean) take and toss at home.

@CakeLady: good idea!

My two cents: we got Zoli but it was hard to clean, Skip Hop are cute and only two parts, tommie yippie are good but annoying to put together (DH whines about it)

Skip hop ones are cute and easy and I don't have them leak.

We've tried a bunch of ones because DS spits water when drinking and I thought maybe different ones would limit it a bit. Nope. He just loves to spit!
