Guillotine some of the time...
Punch? - eh, never liked it............tar, and too many issues with ruined caps..........maybe I'll revisit
Tried to punch a rob a week ago or so and damaged the cap enough that I had to cut anyhow.
Lost my V cutter.
I prefer scissors over guillotine. It seems like you can be a lot more precise in taking just the edge of the cap and the leverage from the scissors make for easier cutting.
V-cut most of the time...

Although I've never really given the punch a real shot.
Not a fan of the v-cut.

Used to use a punch all the time until I got a quality double guillotine... Now that's all I use... Only used the v-cut a couple of times, but wasn't a fan...
The key is to have a sharp punch, so I stay away from Colibri (I've had better luck with cheapie ones}.

I found that if you wet the cap before you punch it it does better. YMMV

I primarily use a punch and find the "wet the tip" trick to help very much. Also, a slight twist as you push the punch in seems helps a lot also.
Double cutter for lancero/petit/ and torps.
Never used a V cutter.
