I have around ~200 to spend on a new knife. I know all these knives are pretty different but out of all i've seen these have been my favorites. What do you think is the best knife out of the 3 for a collection/edc user? Do you have any other suggestions similar to these knives?

-Benchmade 755'

-Spyderco Domino

-Benchmade 300sn

I'm also considering the A.G. Russell Gentleman's Frame Lock

Of your choices, Domino for sure. I also like the BM 755 but I was not a fan of the 300SN. If you like small "chunky" folders you might like the Techno.
 
300 is the only one of the 3 I own and it is a very hit or miss (as far as people's thoughts on it) Knife. I really like it but admittedly it's not the smoothest flipper. I think its due to the axis lock in that the locking bar is always in contact with the blade. It works, just not as smooth as other flippers I own and have tried. I'd highly recommend you hold one before buying.

The domino had been on my "next to buy" list but has recently been pushed down one spot by the DPx Hest 2.0. Can I ask what it is about these 3 particularly? Not saying that these are bad knives but at the $200 price range you open up many great knives such as several offerings from ZT (300, 0561, 0550 etc) which are all fantastic. At this price range they at least deserve a look if they haven't gotten one already.

Good luck with your choice. I'm sure like the rest of us, you'll end up with all 3 in sort order ;)
 
Domino for sure. If you want another great flipper under $200 consider Zero Tolerance 0801.
 
I like these knives cause I prefer chunkier, interesting looking knives with blades around 3 inches
 
Consider DPx Gear HEST/F 2.0 Milspec with a 3.1" blade that's 0.19" thick, titanium fame lock and selling for just under $200. Includes glass-breaker and bottle-opener that can be used for wave opening. Narrower profile than any on your list except for the slim I'm also considering the A.G. Russell Gentleman's Frame Lock which has a thin blade.
