I'm fickle and need help choosing my EDC

Excuse the cell phone pic my camera is broken

I can't decide which knife to EDC! (and maybe wanted to show off a little :D)

Of my collection, here are the viable EDCs.
Keep in mind I also carry a swisschamp daily as well.

I of course rotate some but I can't pick a "main blade"

The 710 has been numero uno for a while.

My collection is kind of similar to yours, and I also carry a Swisschamp around (in my backpack, though. Too bulky to carry on my person). Out of those, I like the Benchmade 943 and ZT 0551 the best for EDC. My composite leek is a bit too small, and my heavier duty knives like the Spec Bump (in your case the 30x) feel a little too big in the pocket, and my Delica 4 just doesn't excite me as much as some of the nicer knives. I like the way the 943 is so light and small in the pocket for a decent sized blade, and I like the way the 0551 doesn't rip up your pockets despite being such a big and heavy duty folder.

I'm starting to think I should have bought a 2nd 0551 when I had the chance lol

Me too haha. Although I'm wondering if the price of these will crash when the 0550 comes out. If it doesn't, I'm considering the possibility of trading down and using some of the extra cash for a custom scale. I really like my 0551, though, so we'll see...
 
I also have a Delica like yours and use that as my EDC. It's a tough little knife and inexpensive enough to not worry about abusing or losing it.
 
If I'm in town or out and about, I EDC my 940. If I'm hiking, fishing, etc. I EDC my 710. If I'm camping out in the deep wilderness, I'll carry a variation of my 940, 527, or 3550 along with a CS R1 tanto as my 'user' blade.

Perhaps there is no reason to pick a main blade. I rotate through maybe a dozen knives regularly, from a little SOG Flash 1 (its almost a toy knife) to a ZT300. It just depends on what floats my boat.

Among those you show, I would probably pick the Endura or Delica as my "main" blade, but tomorrow it would be something else.
