ive never used the 5 or the 7, that being said i like the look of a 5 better, to much tatical in the 7 for me.
Also the 9 which i just got recently is an awesome piece of steel. I understand what people mean small knife can do anything la da da its true, but often takes more work.
I quickly figured out how to make my 9 do the work of a small knife and it already does a good job of a big knife. It is my new favourite knife

I like my 4LE and my 10LE and 11 and 13. Next for me is a 5 then a 77 and a 2 (and a 1 eventually 
).. Definitely get some canvas or linen and hold off on duplicating models until you have other roles filled and need redundancy. My USMC FK is really only for sentry removal and flaying myself 
.. Gonna have to throw a ZK Mule Folder in there somewhere too 
. Good luck and welcome to the insanity. Becker can be a "gateway" knife into "hard use" knives, welcome to the insanity 
Don't forget about custom leather or kydex either...
Forgot to add the 12 in there before the 2...

Nice choice there Ocean!! I have all the Beckers minus a 6, 8 and 12, and I would lead you toward a 5 than 15, 16 before the 7. I like the look of the 7 but to be honest I think the 9 does it better and you could use a bushcrafter in there so for sure I would go 5 ,16, 15. Yep just my 2 cents.
