I use a fine grit sharpening stone, took a little while to put an edge on the first time, but it's amazingly sharp and I can resharpen them in minutes myself. Having tried one of the manual diamond sharpeners I was completely unimpressed; damn near a half hour with the thing didn't leave as good of an edge as just a minute with a coarse pocket knife stone.
As far as knives I have a set of wusthof grand prix. They're excellent knives of incredibly hard steel; they'll take a great edge and keep it for a long time, even if they do take some effort to sharpen. Also, for the lefties out there they're symmetric knives so they should work just as well left handed as right.
