Olivia Garden swivel shears are the ones I use. Hello, fellow lefty! They're reasonably priced and have never let me down. Still razor sharp as the day I bought them.

I'm pretty sure I have the 5.75" blades. I like a decently long blade, because those really small ones make me feel like I'm cutting hair with baby scissors, but at the same time, I didn't do the 6.5" shear because I have kind of small hands and I thought that blade might be TOO long.

I guess it all comes down to personal preference. I also really love the hinged thumb hold on the OG swivelcuts, but I know some people HATE swivel shears, so that's down to preference, too. But I can vouch for their decent quality and lasting sharpness! And they're quite comfy, IMO!
