The herringbone looks like a nice simple design to me....and Im sure the grip is rock solid.
I was looking at close-ups of the Imperial and came away unimpressed...it's quite intricate
but looking at other handle designs in that same vein, I find the filigree patterns of ye olde Gillette Bostonian,
1909 ABC and 1928 Deluxe Set handles a lot more elegant, sophisticated and timeless.

In person the imperial is impressive to me. The industrial handle I also really like the looks of.
Herringbone and pineapple twist are plenty grippy too.
I’ve held all but the industrial (in Ti), which is just a take on the herringbone.
Still, I’d give the nod to imperial for its uniqueness for my taste.
