Naturally my vote goes for the Orca, but that is only because I own one and have not test rode any other of the bikes mentioned. If you want to best bang for the buck of the bikes listed I would say Orca, if you want something that no one else has then I would say the Parlee, though the S3 would be very rare becuase no one else has had the opportunity to purchase them yet.
Just my 2 cents worth

Thank you everyone for the wonderful insights and great advice. i really appreciate it.
The 09 Orca is at a great price point and it is a beautiful bike. The build quality of the 09 Orca at Get a Grip Cycles was absolutely superb. The frameset is 57% of the cost of the Pinarello Prince frameset.

That's good advice. Don't make a choice based on what people tell you here regardless of now many own these bikes. Go for test rides and pick what feels best to you. Even if a dealer isn't local, use trips and vacations to try different bikes out.
I did that and road three of the the four - didn't try the Parlee.
