If you haven't read Sue's blog posting about her various laying tools already, you should look at it here.

I like to use metal laying tools like my Best Laying Tool (also known as the BLT) for silks and wooden laying tools for cotton floss, while I also use my trolley needle a lot as it is always handy on my left thumb. I also have a nut pick from my nutcracker set that handles ribbon threads like Flair and ribbon floss very well. I think one's hand size is important here, so do try out laying tools before you buy.
I recently found this nice source for laying tools, some of which are new styles to me. Have fun browsing now, and laying threads later!
