Good Enough Him Chain Breaker/Tool

I prefer to take my bike to a shop for most maintenance issues, but for the 2-4 times a year I change chains on my bike, I have decided to change chains myself. I only uses Shimano 11 speed chains and I need a reliable easy to use chain breaker tool. I don't mind buying higher end tools if they make an appreciable difference but I also get easily frustrated by cheap tools that make a simple task frustrating.
A "good enough" chain breaker for my limited use should work, but being completely unfamiliar with these tools, I'm not sure what is "good enough." The easy but more costly choices are the Birzman Damselfly, Union Professional, Shimano CN28, or the Park CT 3.3, all of these being between $40-$50+. There are a bunch of chain tools in the $10-$20 range, but are these good enough to not be frustrating to use, but get the job done.
What would be your choice for a good enough easy and comfortable to use chain tool?
