+1 on the older park. The Park CN-4 is a good tool. the newer CN-10, in my experience, does not cut housing as well as the older model.

If you can get your hands on one the really old Suntour cable cutter circa early-mid 80's does a great job and holds up like a champ. It does not look like much but the steel it is made from works like the energizer bunny...it keeps cutting and cutting and cutting.

The shimano cable cutters are nice but are expensive/hard to find.

No clue about other brands.
