Manual Flipper with Best Action?

No question for me. My Medford 187f. Smoother than any ball bearing flipper I have run across. The flipper is BIG, not some nub found on many other knives.

Shiro for traditional flipper, burger for front flipper best i've come across

A handful of WE's and the ZT0562 flip really well for the price points
 
"Best action" in what sense? Fastest, smoothest, flipping reliably, flipping hard like a rocket, flipping with the least force needed? These are different action measures and some of them actually contradict with each other.
 
My vote goes to the ZT452CF.
The length of the blade gives it a TON of momentum on those ball bearings. It doesn’t take much to open that knife.

YEP! I have a Smock which is basically set from the factory. While I commented above about the Advocate and its balance, the Smock is such a brilliant mechanism in comparison; it drops shut and fires smoother than the Advocate. I have a Bareknuckle, too, which seems to be ok and flips hard and fast, but the two Spyderco I mention here are still a far 'better action'.
