The Rapid Madness blaster is the quietest blaster out of those three. That makes it great for stealth. It's a cool blaster, but it isn't Nerf. There are a lot of things to think about when straying from actual Nerf blasters. (cross dart compatibility, how dirty the darts get, range/power, etc)

A modded Rapidstrike is awesome, especially one from Coop's store. Depending on which one you get(regular, SMG, Uzi), they could be more easily concealed than the rest of the blasters in this list. That makes the Rapidstrike great for surprise attacks or ambushes. However, as you noted, the flywheels spinning up are very noisy.

The Vortex Pyragon is a pretty awesome blaster. It also uses discs instead of darts. This is another compatibility issue and would be problematic if you run out of ammo. It is also a little noisier than the Rapid Madness IMO. However, it does have huge storage capacity in its drum.

So it's a tough choice. They're all pretty good blasters.
