Get a DT Swiss steel one. Actually, get two, one for the back and one for the front. The design is superior to any conventional quick release (including my Dura Ace internal cam). Skip titanium. It stretches (and bends) more easily, and costs much more.
The DT Swiss steel skewers are the next best thing to thru-axles.
The DTs may be that super but an ordinary steel internal cam Shimano OEM QR works very well, has the modern superior cam design, steel skewer (yes, stay away from ti and aluminum skewers; they stretch too much) and will last many years of good service. (And not cost very much.) Used ones at a coop, $2?.
