I think Damier Ebene is best as an everyday bag because of no vachetta and can be used in all kind of weather and all year round. And the Odeon tote fits a lot. That would be my first choice.
The PM is my second choice but I would be worried about cracking issue and think the PM in black empreinte is much better for everyday.
The damier ebene also has canvas issue, no? I have NF GM in DE and even though I have not been using it that much, I can definitely see the inside material (red canvas) poking through the canvas...

First time I hear about issues with Damier Ebene. I have a Graceful PM in DE with red lining inside and use her as my everyday workbag since 4 years and there is no issue at all. Even no corner wear but I am very careful not to rub the bag against something and would never put her on the floor. Is the canvas on your bag rubbed off?

I would keep the Speedy B. For many years I said that I would never own a Speedy. About 5 years ago I bought the Speedy B30. It is one of my most used bags. I don’t baby it too much and the vachetta is acquiring a nice even patina.

It’s common issue for DE. I don’t baby my bags, but I don’t abuse them. I have seen many DE bags on pre loved market with these issues. My bag is almost 5 years old and I see a little bit of red lining because the corners are rubbing off. I used to have speedy 30 and I used it for a couple of years until I saw this issue, then I sold it.
It could be that DE problem is fixed already, but I remember reading posts about this issue here and there on this forum. I’m glad to hear you don’t have any issues with yours.
