I know they all give pretty good quality for price but within the Spyderco line, which ones are considered the best value? It is a hard question to narrow down so it might help to break it down to price ranges. Say, under $50 (real world prices), $50-100 and over $100. You can make your price ranges different but I just used round numbers.

Here are my picks:
Under $50: Calypso Jr. VG-10 and Rescue.

$50-$100:
R-2

Over $100:
Para
 
Any of the ball lock Spyders, all are in the $50-$100 range, solid, easy to use, and inexpensive enough that you'll happily abuse them.
 
"Most bang for your buck." That is an easy one for me. A waved Endura 4. Great knife with a good amount of blade even without the wave. For a few bucks more, you get a wave. Emerson waves start at around $110. The Waved Endura 4 will have a street price around $65-70. That is close to being the perfect knife in my opinion. Anything more is just luxury in my book. I love titanium, G10, ZDP189, compression locks, etc, but these features are what are just extras that bump up the price. The Waved Endura is a no nonsense knife.

Hey any clue when these are supposed to ship? When I pre-ordered, I was told the 13th. And at first I was pleased, but now I'm a little nervous that I paid $20 less than that. Hope everythings good.

The word on Spyderco street is within the next few days. That would be great if you got it at such a price.
 
The one most used is the Forest Green Ladybug serrated on my keychain. The two inch serrated blade is about the equivalent of a 3.5 inch plain edge, IMHO.
