I agree the Catcherman is the best of the bunch. My next selection would be the Rock Lobster.

Just the other day I needed to cut some 3.5 foot long 10oz "Armor" Leather (beefy stuff). Of all the spydies I have to choose from (each with 30 degree inclusive edges down to .5 micron on a wicked edge), I reached for my ZDP-189 Spyderco Stretch despite the fact that a fresh utility knife was also at hand as I wanted something sturdy. The cut did not need a second pass.
In hindsight I may have tried the Chapparal, as it is in my mind a super detail slicer, but I needed some good pressure to get through it and I reached for something more beefy.

I'm a big fan of the Chaparral over all, but there's no way that a knife in S30V is Sypderco's best slicer. You really want a steel that can hold an edge at fine angles, and my experience leads me to believe that S30V is not that steel.
Now the NEXT Chaparral--that one I could see being the best.
