I am ordering a few things on Friday and I thought I had what I was getting all worked out, but I'm having second thoughts.

If ya'll could pick any 2 or 3 ESEE knives which would you pick and why?
 
I'm definitely getting a Izula. I was getting an RC4 for my camp knife. Too small?
 
If I had to pick two I would get the izula and the ESEE 3 those are my favorite.
 
Izula and -4 is a great combo.
If you want a good chopper, the Junglas or lite machete would round out your set perfectly.
It those are too big, the -6 in an ESEE pack kit would be my recommendation.

I have an izula and -3, just because that's what I happened into. The ESEE pack kit is next on my agenda with a Junglas or lite machete following.
 
1. IZULA because it is a non-folding folder, it that makes sense. Perfect size for EDC and fun to wrap.
2. RC-3 because it is a great size with a thin blade (tough as nails though) and is great in the field and kitchen.
3. RC-5 because sometimes you need something that can cut a car in half should the need arise.
 
the mil has a sharpened glass breaking pommel, and it says mil, beyond that i am not too sure.
 
Make one an ESEE 6, then it just depends if you want 2 smaller knives, 2 bigger knives or 1 on either side! I only have the ESEE 6(subject to change) but I'm sure you can't go wrong.

Would it be stupid to get a 3 and a 4?

To be honest, you could get by with just one or the other. They have nearly identical handle profiles (the 4 is thicker steel, so is a bit thicker in the handle), with the 4 having under an inch longer blade. I have both, and would never part with either, but if you are going to only purchase 2 or 3 ESEE knives, pick one or the other. (disclaimer -- you WILL buy more later, anyway!)

I would think about an Izula, an ESEE4, and either the 5 or 6.

Here are some pictures that might illustrate:
