I prefer steel, and this steel in particular:

For under thirty bucks (at Amazon - the Gerber MSRP is closer to forty) you can get a durable, quick-access, made-in-USA folder that will last a lifetime with minimal proper care and occasional sharpening.

My only criticism is that the clip is kind of junky, I carried my first few clipped inside my pocket, and lost them. My current Gerber EZ Out folder rides in a belt sheath, and I've had it and used it daily for well more than a decade. The clip is bent though. But in a belt sheath, that does not really matter.
