RE: If you had to pick one of these....
I love leafy wear for turkey hunting so Id go with the whitewater. If you like to run and gun choose the strap vest. If you sit more often use the full vest.
I have the full whitewater vest w/ zip off sleeves.

RE: If you had to pick one of these....
I just bought the HS Turkey Vest, I really like it, got it on sale for $30. It has A LOT of pockets, but there is only 1 secure pocket for a pot call, the only real downfall, because I like to take 3 with me. There really isn't specific pockets for certain things, like other vests. I do like the gun strap though, comes in handy. The seat is very nice, everything is very light weight. The HS Turkey Vest is the only one I have used, bought it yesterday, so I really don't know anyhting about the rest. I will also be using it during Deer Season, this is a good by IMO.

RE: If you had to pick one of these....
ok here it goes
#1 i think the shoulder straps would get in the way when you shoulder your gun, plus i dont like the white lining on the inside.
#2 it is nice that is has a padded back like the others, this could be a viable option not really any cons
#3 nice thick padded straps and seat but NO sternum strap to keep it from sliding off your shoulders
#4 alot of pockets but not call specific pockets. like the gun strap
#5 i like the clean and organized look of this one. not as many pockets but looks more comfortable.
#6 3d leaf looks great but i have a feeling you may have trouble getting into your call pockets with all that in the way.
to be honest i would sugget trying at least your top 2 picks on before buying to make sure.
If it was up to me either #2 or #5.
#2 for short days but could also be comfortable for long afternoons.
#5 for all day hunts.

ORIGINAL: Strutter20
Any others out there who would like to contribute there information? I am leaning towards number 2. Leafy, strap, realtree camo, good pocket setup, decent seat. Looks good for me.
