I've never used the Rival but I've had two Foodsavers (first
one was fine, just wanted to upgrade) and I won't be without
one again. Period.
I'd recommend getting one that you can control the amount of
vac. and manually seal it at any point. That way you can
seal more delicate items such as sandwiches etc. Without
that feature you can't do it. Well, you can but the
sandwich would be pressed into a brick by the Foodsaver.
