The bulb type solder suckers are kinda a POS... ones such as this one from PartsExpress are better: http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=370-030
Other than clearing thru holes, I've never felt the need for a desoldering iron, and if I did, I would get a powered vacuum type such as a Hakko 808, etc. It is easy enough to hold the iron with one hand and the solder sucker with the other. Then take some needlenose pliers and the iron, and remove the component lead while heating a bit.
I prefer the Edsyn type, such as this one:

If you have a Fry's nearby, they carry them in stock.
