Well, you've gotta' get a Military. I don't know about the second pick. If you want it to be as versatile as possible, then pick the plain edged version. The serrated version is spectacular, just more special purpose.
I suggest you buy a Military first, try it out, then attempt to convince yourself that you actually ever need another knife. It's hard. I know you can probably do it, but it's hard.

I agree with Jeff/1911 <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> In this case my choice would be: 1. Military and 2. Calypso Jr Ltwt (I know, this one is not on your list). The reason: One big serious cutting tool and a little helper to go with it <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Since your initial post included the Wegner, I'd recommend it and the Native. Course, I'm prejudiced. You see, those 2 are my primary EDCs. Both very flexible, utilitarian. Both useful for self defense, should that be necessary. Both tip up carry, which I've grown to prefer.
Of course, I know the Military is a great knife, and it too has the 440V steel. Still, am not so sure I'd want both blades to have the same steel. Particularly if that steel can be difficult to sharpen for some.
