Sippy Cups

I think Jesse is ready to start using a cup but I don't know which one to use. We have this one but he can't seem to figure out how to get the water/juice out of it. If I take the valve out he can drink from it but it come out so fast the liquid mostly gets all over him. Anyway I thought all you veteran mom's would have an idea of a good cup for a lazy baby that want to do as little work as possible! Jesse is crawling everywhere and always wants to play/put things in his mouth he shouldn't. I hear this is normal but I feel like a chicken with my head cut off running around after him making sure he doesn't eat screws, gum wrappers, trash in general (from the trash can of course), string, plastic bits, twist ties and the broom. Just to name a few. Help please.
