I agree with most everyone else, the R.A.M. is the most fun to flip. But here's my take.
PROS
Fast - The R.A.M. doesn't have a traditional liner lock detent. It's held closed by a spring. Once you overcome the spring, you've built up a lot of tension, and the blade flies open.
Easy - In the closed position, the flipper itself is angled upward, making the knife easier to open and easier on the pockets. The flipper is exposed for a longer distance before it disappears into the handle. And only a bit of it sticks out in the fully closed position, so you get less unwanted snagging.
CONS
Tight Clip - Hard to pull out of pockets
Lock Location - The lock sits just right where you want to rest your thumb when flipping it open. But, if you're thumb is impeding the lock, it won't open. You have to put your thumb elsewhere (and elsewhere is usually uncomfortable).
Flush Lock - The lock is mostly flush against the G10 scales and is not easy to release. Also, the lock is only accessible on the mark side, so you can't use your index finger on the other side to help (like you would with an Axis lock)
With all that said, to me, it's the best of the 3 choices. Try to find a red one.
