Your opinion...What are the top 5 "must own" spydercos?

no particular order:
Para 2
military
techno
southard
and a tenacious, just cause its awesom:D
 
I do not have enough Spyderco experience to give you five of the best. I have many, but there are higher models I do not own yet. So I will give you two the Spyderco Dragonfly and the Manix 2 (blue). The Endura and Delica are great, but usually are among the first ones you buy and may not be the must own. For the price why not own them though.
 
The 5 I'd most like to have are.
- Southard
- Dodo PE (carbon fiber handles and ceramic ball)
- Ulize
- Tasman salt PE
- The big Hossom Forester (but more realistically price wise the schempp rock).
I've got the Tasman and the Ulize, and I'm on the hunt for a Dodo at the right price.
 
I haven't had a chance to get a hand on a lot of models, but my current favorite 5 are (No order):

1) Caly 3.5
2) Paramilitary 2
3) Sage 2
4) Delica
5) Millie
 
Late to this, but here is my list:

1. Southard
2. Southard
3. Southard
4. Southard
5. Southard*

*NOTE: The ridiculously pretty damascus/cf version of the Caly 3.5 almost made it onto the list but was narrowly edged out of the five position by the Southard.

You rang?

Stretch - EDC
Pacific Salt SE - tucked in the swim suit waist line when boating swimming etc
Delica - dress carry
Tasman - in the car, nothing opens tenacious plastic packaging better & safer than that shape blade/point, gets out slivers pretty good to
Mule 17 - on the hip - just cause I'm a real man
