Far left one. I like Wharncliffe type blades. The more belly a blade has the less I tend to favor it.
 
The Thorburn. The other two aren't really my cup of tea, I'm not a fan of overbuilt knives or Ti framelocks, and I don't care for side switch OTF's.
 
Deadlock for sure. I guess it depends on where I am as I can't take autos some places. In those instances that thorburn looks nice. I don't know anything about them though or why they cost as much as a deadlock.
 
The Mudd, 'cause I don't have one and really want one.

Runner up is probably the Oz, because I'd like to try one of those, but not enough to pony up. And I already have a Model C.
 
Cool idea for a post!
In all honesty, none of those appeal to me, but within the parameters of your post, I'd go with the OTF. It is the most utilitarian design of them all.

Counting from left to right I would take the second knife. It has the cleanest design of any of them. I like a thumb and forefinger pinch at the base of the blade.

Truth be told the knives in this photo are too expensive for my blood and I wouldn't look at them outside of the posted question.
 
The Deadlock C model.
Great knife.
I had a M.U.D.D. proto I bought from Gavin at Blade, but traded it away.
 
Not knowing anything about the knives other than look, I woukd pick the far left It looks the most utilitarian to me. However that is a very limited amount of data to base a purchase.
Pesonally would not buy any of them. None appeal to me enough to get my $'s.
 
Probably the Mudd, for the technical innovation, then the Thorburn, just on the tasteful side of fancy. Not a fan of OTFs, regardless of price, and the Oz just doesn't particularly pique my interest. Nice knives, all, but not my cup of mildly caffeinated brewed beverage.....
 
For the fun of playing with an OTF I would pick the Dead Lock.
The ergonomics are fine, the blade seems to be fine and may it be a descent slicer

For EDC I would pick the Roosevelt
I sold mine but it was a good knife and makes a good small/mid size EDC with a great action
 
Roosevelt for me. Full flat grind, forward finger choil, and ahole in the blade for opening equals everything. I love in a pocket knife.
