sippy cups/straw cups

I need a suggestion for a new sippy cup or something to help transition to drinking from a straw?  Anyone try any of the boon stuff?

    DD loves the Playtex straw cups and they are the only ones, so far that do not leak.

    we never used sippy, just went straight to straws. This is how we got her to use it. A friend who's a PT told me this. We sucked water into a straw and pinched it to trap the water. Then put it in LOs mouth and released the water - to get the water comes from this concept. We had to do this each morning for about a week. After her morning "reminder" she'd drink all day on her own. After a week we no longer had to do the straw trick, she had it down.

    My son's been using a straw cup since 6 months - maybe earlier.  He didn't need any teaching.  DH and I both drink from reusable plastic cups with straws, so my guy saw us doing it and wanted to do it too.  We'd let him have sips of ours from 4 months on and at 6 months got him one of the playtex lil grippers.  They're natural inclination is to suck, so straws work really well.
