My vote is for the Leatherman as a first choice.
I've still got my Original in one of my go-bags. Works great even though I had to bang out the sides after it got run over by a dumptruck on a job site. Have a newer one to also. Not the Wave, the Supertool(?).
Also have a Schrade in another bag, that I picked up on a fishing trip to Montana to make up for leaving the Leathermans at home.
There's nothing wrong with it either, but the next one I get will be a Leatherman. Just comes down to what you need for the job, as to what model to get. But as said earlier, why get the one with a guthook, you'll just end up clogging up the whole tool with hair and junk.
