Mount / pet summon

Iam looking for a easy pet and mount mod. What i need ..

1) ablity to not summon a mount/pet ...
2) easy to use. No make X number of buttons.

Please dont say look at guppet. I have and it terrrable! You cant exclude a mount or pet. Set slide bar any where and u still get ones you dont want. Or it trys 50x to summon one u cant use.

For mounts, I use Squire2. It adds checkboxes in the Blizzard mount list so you can un-check any mounts you don't want it to summon, and then you just bind a key (or drop it on an action button if you prefer to click) to summon a random mount appropriate for your current location and flying skills. It also supports travel forms if your class has any.

Edit:
I've just installed NugMiniPet and it seems to work pretty well. It summons a random pet out of those you've marked as favorites in the Blizzard pet list, with an option to re-summon a different random pet every N minutes. There's also an option to use per-character favorites instead of the Blizzard favorites, but I haven't tried it.

Both of these have the advantage (IMO) of using the existing Blizzard mount/pet lists, instead of creating entirely new interfaces. This makes them easier to use (since you don't have to familiarize yourself with a new GUI), less ugly (while I'm not a huge fan of the Blizzard UI, all of the custom mount/pet UIs I've seen are incredibly hideous), and less work for the authors to write and maintain.

I've been using LiveStock currently maintained by Kharthus.
Does both mounts/pets and has several options for exclusion/inclusion etc.

Some guildies are using Pokedex which also supports both and seem pleased, but I have no personal experience with it.

My personal preference for mounts is LiteMount. You can include/exclude specific mounts same as the others mentioned. It also randomly selects a mount based on where you are and your riding skill. One button mount/dismount is nice too. Pretty much the usual options for this type of addon.

I've written one called sCompanions which allows you to keep an ignore list in a Lua file for mounts and pets.
