I've never owned a Spyderco but have only heard good things about them. If you want other suggestions before you buy, I've got a couple Benchmade folders that serve me well. I've mentioned them both here before, and they continue to impress me. One is the Volli, an assisted opener with a closed length of 4.5" and a blade length of 3". The other is a Grizzly Creek, manual opener of roughly the same size but a 3.25" blade. Both have an s30V blade which I'm really happy with. I use one or the other daily, and sharpening is rarely necessary.
