I like the Furminator....I have an extremely short-haired Greyhound but he does shed quite a bit, and the Furminator does a good job of getting a lot of his loose hair trapped, and mine has the fur ejector so I just press a button and the hair pops off. He's very thin-skinned and sensitive, but as long as I don't get too crazy it doesn't seem to bother him any. I wouldn't recommend buying it in a store, though, because you're looking at $50+ -- get it on eBay instead!
