New Verizon phone, what do you suggest?

Ok, this is in your opinion with what I give you (list a few). I am somewhat rough on my phones but not terribly. I have been looking at the Brigade, Exilim, and Convoy for their ruggedness or waterproofness. I do not need that but would like it. A full keyboard would be nice as would a touch screen. I can get the Feature Phones or Multimedia Phones. So from experience or whatever list pros and cons of the best phones for me.
