I say the retaliator. It's an upgrade without an important feature (slam-fire), less everything than it's predecessor, and there's one more issue with it. Should you leave the slide forward for an extended period of time, it will eventually slightly dent the plastic and make marks on it. Why is this an issue? It becomes very hard to pull the slide back once you fire. The only thing the retaliator is good for is reloading speed, because the clip release is very responsive and you don't have to pull the clip out and it'll instead fall out, but everything else about it is bad. The only real reason anyone bought it is to have an N-Strike Elite stock, handle and barrel attachment, let's be honest.
