For almost 20 years I have been using two fletching jigs; an old Cabelas branded jig (that isn't even offered any longer) and a Bitzenberger.
I like the Cabelas because it makes a complete arrow each time and it has okay adjustments. I like the Bitzenberger for the very precise adjustments and ease of use.
I have used the Arizona EZ fletchers a few times in the past mostly for field repairs and the like; but I have never owned one.
I bought one this weekend and I love this thing. I bought the carbon mini in right helical (offset). This little jig makes a great fletch every single time; getting the glue right was a little bit tricky but once you have that it is very easy to make perfect fletching. The only adjusting is for the cock feather location (indexing), but, for what it is, it is an exceptional jig.
I can't believe I've never really given this type of jig a try before now. If you are on the fence go ahead and get one; they are worth the $50.
