The Victronix (Swiss Army) because it has rounded edges that don't dig into your hands and it is strong enough to do barbed wire fencing duty.

Leatherman Supertool in a nylon sheath with a Mini-Maglite on my belt and a Victorinox Swiss Army knife (the only type regardless of what Wegner Co. says) on a lanyard in my pocket opposite the side the Leatherman is on. Had 3 Leatherman's so far (gave one to my son) and all have worked superbly. Lost one, the other is a spare. Got the Supertool/Minimaglite/sheath combo at Costco for about $50.
