I've only been collecting for a short while, and so far my list goes something like this.

1. ZT 300 series (played with one, watched reviews but never owned)

2. Benchmade 580 Barrage (played with one, watched reviews but never owned)

3. SOG TF-2 Trident (have one on order)

I'm interested to see your lists so I can learn more and hopefully add some to my collection.
 
ZT 300, Kershaw Tyrade and the Benchmade 890 Torrent are my favorites. I know Kershaw has quite a few good choices when it comes to assisted opening knives.
 
Kershaw; Spec Bump, Blur

Benchmade; 790 Subrosa

What I will say, is that Kershaw has a MUCH smoother open and close than the Benchmade, this is an inherent feature to the way the mechanism is designed and utilized, I'm not saying one is better, I like them both, Kershaws are noticeably more smooth... Benchmades nitrous assist seems to fire big blades harder however, at least in my experience...
