A Spyderco knife is as long lasting as it is legendary, as durable as they are versatile.
On many Spyderco knife models you have a choice of one of the below edge grinds.

Plain Edge – a sharpened edge with no serrations or teeth, sometimes referred to as a “smooth” edge. | SpyderEdge – An edge featuring Spyderco’s two-step serration pattern consisting of one large and two small serrations. This pattern increases the cutting edge’s surface area by up to 24% | Combination Edge – A blade with an edge that is partially Plain Edge and partially SpyderEdge (The preferred Edge Style of this author) |

I strongly prefer a plain edge. I find that most combo edges don’t provide enough of either to be effective and I find serrated edges to be a pain unless cutting something fibrous like rope. Plain edge all the way.
Serrated blades have their place no doubt, but as the above poster said, a plain edge is more economical for everyday use. For one they are way easier to sharpen, and provide a greater cutting edge.
