I carry the Firebird everyday because I don't care if it gets all scratched up with the change in my pockets or if I lose it. I carry the Trifecta when I know I'll be smoking a cigar that day or if it's really windy out.

I really like jet flame butane lighters. YMMV.

i too have a firebird - been really happy with it so far! cheap and reliable.
