174-176 Soft Magnet. I have two in my bag and 3 at the house for practice. Wizard and Voodoo are great but to stable for me. I want my putter to fly straight.

KC Pro Aviar. I bought it when I was looking for a new putter to try out. I didn't fall in love with it right away, but I stuck with it. It seriously took my putting to the next level. It's also a great driver for me too

Putters are like underwear, find what fits! Yes, it's that personal.

I moved to the Ion this year and I'm loving it! Let a friend try it out and he loves it to, just hasn't bought one yet.

this is why i'm asking, i've grown up on putting with drivers (broke college kid) so i know little to nothing about putters
Yup. To go even farther than that, you need to figure out your style first, can be hard to do without trying out a lot of putters first so it's a cart before the horse situation but if you can figure it out it'll shorten the learning curve. e.g., if my style is a lob putter I'm going with Magics and APX's. If I'm going in-line spin putter, I'll lean towards Wizards, etc.
Ions are great, especially if you don't mind the slick tops.
I've got a lot of love for the Rattler. I don't know anybody else who throws one, but I love that disc. It has a rubbery feel that's nothing like other D plastic discs, and it grabs the chains well. That bad boy flies dead straight with no glide at all. It's awesome for go-for putts and approaches too because when that thing lands, it's not going anywhere. I don't think I've ever seen my Rattler roll more than a foot or two even when it lands on its side. I would definitely recommend picking one up.

Putt'r (give it a shot and if the rim feels too weird for you put it down).

Try an aviar in the r-pro. Super glide, super straight, super grip.

I'm going to agree with those who are telling you to put a few of these in your hands before actually buying one. I don't think I'd buy another putter without seeing if it's comfortable in my hand. Remember, you'll probably use the same putter on nearly every hole that you play.
Personally, I've been using a Rattler. I like it and I think it has been a fine way to start, but I've been moving more towards a push putting style, so I think another putter might give me better results. The Rattler has a very thin and tall rim, which is difficult to push into my palm with my pinky finger. I'm thinking a Putt'r might do the trick, though I want to feel some some Gateway and Innova discs before I blindly choose another.
