The Edge Pro is, by far, my favourite. It felt good, was easy to deal with, had proper hardware, and transferred tone well.
The ZR was a close second, due to stability and vibrato control.
I still prefer all Ibanez tremolos over a Floyd Rose, but the majority of them are made with cheap alloys.

I will always hate Kahlers and will never buy another locking tremolo guitar, as PRS and Parker have made them obsolete, in my mind.

People who like the Edge trems, why do you prefer them floyds?

I've played guitars with both but never focused on the trem.

They are easier to work with and, in some cases, have better tone.
To be truthful, unless you're willing to pay WAY too much money, you're better off with an OFR, as the cheaper Edge models are not made with the best components (hardware, alloys, and knife edges).

One of the bigger reasons, for me, was that they felt more comfortable to the touch. I always had the idea in my head that I was about to snag myself on the Floyds, but the Edges were more rounded and safe feeling (despite their name).
