Turntable mats

What in your opinion is the best mat? I have the magical mat and I feel it does it's job; however, it leaves a "sticky" like pattern on the album. How are the Funk mats? AQ? Are they worth the difference?

Thanks

My favourite is the Harmonix TU-800EXi. This mat sounds fantastic and miles ahead of the Boston Mat1 which is by itself very good. Right now, my magical combination is the Harmonix on top of a Micro Seiki gunmetal mat.
