Coming from someone who has or has had all of them except for three the best Leatherman models IMHO are the two Charges, old/new Wave, Squirts, and Blast. All the rest are either too big and heavy or don't have a real good tool selection for both city and wilderness use. I really like the juice models too as they are extremely compact and have excellent tool selections, but the pliers arn't real heavy duty. Great if you are looking for a SAK replacement or true pocket tool. The crunch isn't bad, but your really better off having a pair of locking pliers along with a multi-tool. The Victorinox Swiss tool and Spirit are good also, with the Spirit being the better of the two IMHO, though you need to carry a knife with it. I still prefer the Charge over all though.
