Which ones do you like, Fender Vintage style, Floyd Rose, Kahler, Bigsby, or none at all? For me I guess it depends on the type of guitar. For my Strat I like the the Fender Vintage, and even though some of the Teles had Bigsby's I prefer to play a Tele without a trem at all..My next choice would be Kahler, and I really dislike Floyd Rose...

Yeah those are my two favorite, but I wouldn't mind having a hardtail strat either....

The only trem I've had any luck with is the vintage style Fender trem on my Jap Bullet. 4 springs. I have a hipshot, but haven't had the need to install it. For some reason, it holds its tuning really well. The next step for it is Graphtech saddles.
I have the vintage style bridge on my Mex Strat, but its wedged down like a hardtail for sustain.

I only use 2 springs on the vintage style trems,they are too stiff with 4 springs. Also I loosen the screws a 1/2 turn,has more action that way.

I haven't used very many, but i have heard good things about the floyd rose. but as far as looks you can't beat the classic styling of the Bigsby. A bigsby on a Vintage arched top, that is one sexy guitar.

I was installing a Kahler Spyder on a peavey last night and it looks like the twin to the Ibanez trem on my RG270.

I've got a Wilkinson on the Jackson. I don't honestly use the trem a whole lot since most of my playing is rhythm.
