aggat,
This may depend more on your daily EDC usage. I carry a Ti Salsa in my office daily. More sheeple friendly and shorter blade. I usually carry a native on weekends (although the Lil' Temp is making it way my pocket more). The native has a longer blade and it's a spearpoint. For office I'd go for a Salsa PE, for harder working environments I'd go for a native CE.
My 2cents US.

Be Excellent to each other.

The Native.
Good blade length allows versatility and great cutting power. Also can be used for self-defense in a pinch.
Awesome, strong cutter.

Native III...I'm one of the weirdos who likes the "III" better than the original Native. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

I like them both, each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
BTW, I love the cobra hood now. Used to hate it untill my Salsa arrived. But it IS a great improvement, at least I do appreciate it enough to put one at the Delica. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Native II in SV30
I love the length, spear point shape, and sharpness of the Native II's blade.
Even though I have two grey aluminum handled Salsa's, they've been collecting a lot of dust in my drawer. The compression lock on those knives has a bad tendency to pinch the flesh of the palm of my hand every time I open them.

aggat :
Good topic matter!
Native : In any configuration, a good EDC ;
IMO has a "solid feel" and the blade shape offers versatility. So does -
The Salsa : Smaller, has a "tinny" feel to it, but by the same token, is one of Sal's
"big little knives" as in big on
performance, small on size.
As with any <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>, it's really a matter of personal ( or End Line User (ELU)) choice.
Now that's "versatility" ( in production <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>)

IMO (biased from not actually having used a Salsa): Native. It has a good sized blade, great ergos and looks great.
Also my Natives are the smoothest opening <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>cos I have had with the notable exception of the Dodo.
