I have a Blackout, a Vapor II, a Chive and the 1422ST (Can't remember the name; a little hawkbill folder).
I've been quite satisfied with all of them.

FYI, kershaws ken onion rainbow leek, the one awarded 'knife of the year' for 2002, has a low price of $59.95 at http://www.outdoor-warehouse.com/kershaw-detail.asp?product_id=k1660vib
other retailers have pricing up to $99.95 for this. dont confuse this with the rainbow chive, as this has a 1.93 inch blade, the leek has the 3 inch blade.

I have a Scallion mechanically assisted opener. Seems pretty good to me. A lot more robust than the Sog Flash.
I've had a Ken Onion Avalanche for about a year now and think its a very good knife. The steel is good and I really like the speed assist blade. I rotate the Avalanche with a Spyderco Rookie for my EDC.
If you are looking for a good entry level Ken Onion, I'd say get the Chive, which sells for $30 at Walmart.

Ken Onions at Wally World for $30?!? Dang, I got ripped off! That's about what I paid for my Kershaws... 
Kershaw is a definite bang for the buck knife. I've been evaluating one for a few months now and am fairly well impressed. I think they're a very good value today.
It's after the fact, but here's two cents anyway. The only Kershaw I own is the Double Cross. Nice fit, beautifully finished, and the basic scary sharp blades. I'm very happy with it.

I have a chive, scallion, rainbow leek, random task, mini task, boa. Lost the whirlwind in the yard somewhere. Yep, guess you could say I like um. Actually, they are a pretty decent knife for the price. I am a bit of a knife nut and usually spend a little more for a EDC, but these are pretty nice. The random task is my favorite.
