What Type Of Universal Garage Door Remote Do I Need?

Which type of universal garage door remote will I need? I lost 2 of my remotes for 2 different brands of garage door openers. I have a 2 car garage with a Craftsman opener and a 1 car garage with a Stanley opener. Both of them have a different remote control garage door opener.
