Im on my phone and I cant see a poll, but from previous posts, I assume that there is one with my choice.
Long pull by a mile.
Also love long matchstriker.

I like them all but if the long pull is located a little too far back, it can make it harder to open the blade.

Long pull for clips, spears, and sheepsfoot if it was all about aesthetics. I must admit that I would pick a long pull even though I would be giving up some reliability in opening the knife. I just tested what others have said about a nick being more useful and and it appears to be true for me as well. I am a sucker for the looks of the long pull...

And a nick for wharncliffe's for both its looks and function. This blade design looks great with a nick.
 
Long pull match strike on a spear, long pull on a sheepfoot and clip, nail nick on a warncliffe.
 
I voted for long pull, but, a long pull match striker can be attractive. If one would choose to go down that road, I would suggest that the teeth be v shaped as opposed to rounded and also have fine spacing, similar to this old Camillus Sabre ground blade.:

I visually like the looks of a long pull but in actual use I tend to prefer a nice deep nail nick. Actually the nail nick that was done on the 77 NF Barlows is one of my favorites!
