If you can find an aluminum scaled Salsa, they are excellent knives that cut way beyond their 2.5" blade length. I also like the Kiwi for dressier occasions. Mine is the one with the bone scales, but the less expensive stainless steel version is also very nice.

I own a Spin, Cricket, and a Jester. I trade off between carrying the Spin and Cricket. If I had to pick one, I would go with the Cricket. I wasn't real sure about the "reverse-S" blade, but I love it now that I have used it.
If you are going for a self-defense knife, then Lava would be the way to go. I wasn't looking for SD. The poliwog is very cool looking, but I didn't like the angle of the blade as I held it.
I have the Jester, Spin, Cricket and Boker Subcom. Of these, I would pick the Cricket (serrated, of course) as it seems to be the perfect size, opens and closes easily, and cuts like a charm. I don't know about using any of these small blades for cutting food (fruit, etc) but for all of your other mentioned tasks, the serrated Cricket will perform well.
