Hmm let me try again.
If could choose one of these boards for free and not have the option to resell it. Which would you choose and why?

Couldn't have said it better. + you get more street cred than with a CM storm (even tho they are the same board)
Filco because they are the standard to which other mass produced, modern cherry boards are judged.

Probably the ducky for PBT and I think it has WASD backlighting too.

Wait... you mean this Ducky has back lighting around WASD or do you mean WASD keyboards? I couldn't find a TKL WASD keyboard on their site.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/z11v3BO.jpg)
G2 Pros have backlit WASD clusters. They also come with Red Ducky backlit WASD keycaps if you're so inclined.
Personally, the Ducky is probably the best choice. Even though the Filco has arguably the most consistent, high quality production, it doesn't have stock PBTs like the G2 Pro does.

Pretty sure backlit isn't on any of the PBT G2s.

Very nice, I also found this album http://imgur.com/a/mMQadIt really depends if you eat and type. I'm pretty hygienic when it comes to my computer equipment so all the keyboards I've owned stay white.
Looks pretty good, I wonder how fast the white keycaps get dirty? I'm a clean guy but those are white white!
Leaning towards the Ducky....

This is the TKL version?No, it's not, however the DK9087 G2 Pro features the same WASD backlit cluster, as documented here: http://imgur.com/a/mMQad
I just pulled the trigger on a kbt oni with cherry mx browns. I was trying to determine if I wanted this, a filco or a ducky. The oni was the cheapest one (I paid 110 bucks on mechanicalkeyboards.com), the ducky was a little bit more expensive (depending on the model) and the filco was by far the most expensive.
I decided to get the oni based on some user's opinions here on geekhack, even PMed a guy about the keyboard and he said that, compared to his filco, the kbt was better. I asked some guy at 4chan and he said the same. So I was between the ducky and the oni. I didn't like the ducky models that came with PBT keycaps, I thought they were ugly.
My Oni has not arrived yet, but as soon as it does, I'll write a review here.
Is the ONI a costar board or just the Filco and QFR?

You're gonna wanna try costar... make sure your second keyboard is costar.
While I'm not 100% sure, but I have a feeling that the Oni is probably OEM by Ducky and use Cherry Stabilizers.Nope. Ducky is a Costar.

Nope. Ducky is a Costar.No, Ducky features Cherry stabs. Its OEM is unknown, if not themselves.
Missing Leopold
I'm completely unfamiliar with Leopold.
Is there a model i should be checking out that is similar to the others mentioned?

Yeah last I heard Ducky is Ducky OEM.
Filco. Think of the value!

I'm sure you'll really enjoy your purchase, the KBT Oni is a fantastic keyboard. Just bear in mind I never said the KBT Oni was better keyboard than the Filco. They both have a lot of similarities, such as similar case/double layered PCB, and I simply listed pros and cons of both (Filco, for example, has better stabilizers, rubber on the feet, PS/2 support and is more compatible with custom accessories due to its popularity). Because of the prices, when money is a factor I will always recommend the KBT Oni (which has, arguably, better keycaps and a more discrete case) over the Filco. To be honest, I like my current KBT Oni quite a bit more than my Filco MJ2.
Make sure to post some pictures of it when it arrives.

Sorry, I got confused. Another person, on 4chan, told me that the Oni was better than the filco, in his opinion. I'll post pictures and write a review, but it should take a while. I live in Brazil and I won't be using this keyboard until the end of February ):
