Mine is a half-serrated Benchmade Emerson CQC7LH. I have always been fond of the Tanto point and what it offers for sheer thrength and endurance, and fell in with EE Emerson's Chisel grind the first time I used it. It is a little more detail to sharpen, but actually easier once you get the hang of it.
The Tanto offers a large slicing surface for big jobs, and a smaller one up front that works for slicing, chopping, scraping, trning screws, and damn near anything else... And, the half-serrated blade is not a bad idea, if the base blade is big enough. My CQC7 goes everywhere with me, and has already saved a few lives by making short work of seatbelts at MVA's!
Tanto - good for general cutting, sticking, and the like.
Serrated - good for cutting something NOW!
Another point - if you get a folder - go for the liner lock! I have yet to run across anything else that will act like a fixed blade when open, and still fold up on command. My CQC7 does exactly that, and I still have all my fingers after both fighting with it and using it in high-stress rescue situations...
