So when it comes to a cutting device what is best to have; a Knife, Shears, or a Line Cutter (like the EEZYCUT)?
Yes.
To those who might miss the point of a simple "yes" - it would be best to have all of them as each is better at something that the others can't do as well. That said I still don't have shears. I don't do wrecks, don't like them, don't see the point. I also recently went to carrying 2 knifes with line cutters as the cold water line cutter's blade kept rusting. I'm searching for stanless blades for it but no one seems to carry them.

... Many diver destinations are "protected" reefs so they won't let you carry a knife ...
Can you say where these are? I've never run into that anywhere. Gloves being banned - certainly. Knives - never heard of it.
