1. My budget is not limited for this particular purchase.
2. Hook size: 2 or 4 rarely. Usually 6 down to 18 or 20.
3. Yes, which of the vises are "true rotary", as opposed to "rotary"? (Uhhh, what exactly is the difference?)
My thanks to you and everyone else who has been kind enough to supply information to my inquiry,
George

1. How much do you have to (want to) spend? There is a very wide range of prices for vises, even between well respected models. If you are on a limited budget, some may be out of your range.
2. How wide a range of hooks will you be using (tiny nymphs to salt water or somewhere in between). Not all vises handle very large or very small hooks. The Traveler actually has two sets of jaws for different work.

The other thing I forgot to mention is that you want to get a "true rotary" vise. Those who have one can't live without it.
