I like my Delica 4; however I've heard lots of good things about all these knives.
 
Those are all good choices, but my preferences in order are:

1) Delica
2) Tenacious
3) Leek
4) Zing

Kershaw makes some nice knives but I'm put off by the grind pattern on the Zing. The Delica is one of the knives I edc the most.
 
I am a Kershaw fan, but after carrying a Persistence, the little bro of the Tenacious, for a couple months I gained a new respect for Spydercos ffg blade and how well this knife is constructed. I say Tenacious.
 
I'm not saying Kershaw makes bad stuff (I have more than one Kershaw), but I tend to favor Spyderco.
 
Delica -(G10 if you can swing it)

Then go to walmart and get a Kershaw for things like chipping grout or stirring paint.:D

(I'd best duck and cover now)
 
Depends on what you plan to edc it for.
use and abuse = delica (I have 2)
fun to play with, show off and open mail = Leek (I have 3 of these)
Tenacious, I have one it's ok but it'll probably sit in a drawer until I give it to my nephew.
Zing don't like it don't own one
 
I like the Tenacious. The wide blade makes it very easy to put sharper than the devil's pitchfork kinda edge. A really big cutter in a small package. You can get it around $30, and you'll have some extra money for sharpeners. :D
 
tenacious. definately. i had a delica 4 and hated it. too small and didnt like the saber ground blade and i like the ffg on the tenaicous way better. the tenacious takes a wicked edge and holds it good too.
 
a lot of people are bashing the zing but i really like mine. its my current edc (until my s30v g10 leek gets here). the flipper on it opens it lightning fast. the 14c28n takes a razors edge fairly easily, it has a nice strong thick blade. a pretty darn solid lock up, and unless you have gorilla hands it feels good in the hand. i like the look of the orange scales too,and with their pattern they feel a lot closer to g10 than the frn of the delica. the only thing i dont like about it is the thumb studs which i dont think work very well, but if you use th flipper it doesnt matter. the striations on the blade dont really affect much. sometimes you can notice when cutting through stuff with a draw cut but on push cuts it slices right through.
