The only one I've tried is the Arc Flash, and I really love it. Better overdrive than any tubescreamer or other cork pedal I've tried, and also bitchin fuzz when you turn it up. If they're all this good, just pick one at random and you'll probably love it. The ABsynth looks super cool.

Ab-Synth is classic.

AB-Synth is the one I can't live without. For reference, I currently have an Algal Bloom and Fuzz Huger, and have had the Arc Flash and Phantom Octave.

Ab-Synth. My guitarist has one and it's a blast to play with. The Algal Bloom is pretty rad for more traditional sounds. Another one I liked from a tourbox was the Velcroar-oscillator. Nice huge fuzz with killer oscillation when you need it via footswitch. Less synthy than the Ab-Synth.

Great wall/Fuzz Huger for wall of sound fuzz. AB-Synth for oscilating goodness.

My favourite standard model is the Velcroar, Mudfuzz did a pretty good demo of that. Algal Bloom is just cute, the Great Wall is Huger. Then again why go standard when Tom makes the craziest custom builds, limited only by your imagination, while not demanding your first born as compensation. Just look at all the things MLC had built.

I own and love:

Phantom Arcade for the weird octave/ring mod goodness smothered in fuzz or clean(ish). The turbo mode is friggin' nuts with both sides activated.

Algal Bloom for some mean traditional fuzz/distortion hybrid tones, great for stacking into my Pharaoh since it hits on a whole different set of frequencies. Those two comprise one of my favorite fuzz combos.

AB Synth 5k absolutely rules for either a chunky mean fuzz or all out oscillating synth fuzz weirdness. The added gain control on the 5K adds a TON of variety not found on the standard model, really opens it up, imo.

I use an Arc Flash as my main fuzz. Also run a Phantom Ring into it to get an octave up sound.

I have a Bloom, ABSynth and Phantom Octave. Currently, the Algal Bloom is my favorite for both guitar and bass, the volt sag is giving me the most tonal options and seems almost like a clean blend with my bass. But I'll keep all three. Arc Flash is the one I'm most interested in that I don't have but I'm keeping it to 3 for now.

You need an AB-Synth 5k w/voice push-pull.
Or maybe the Phantom Arcade.

I've had a Phantom Octave, Phantom Arcade, AB SYnth,Velcroar, Velcroar Oscillator and they are all awesome pedals. Or you could also order a Pipe Amp. Best portable amp in the whole wide world
