   i like the #93 only because it is a little longer than the others. since i use it as a shouder plane for trimming long shoulders, i like the extra length. the #90 is also a good size for small parts.

   Bill,

   The #90 is actually a bullnose triming plane, the #92 and #93 are shoulder planes primarily used for cleaning up the shoulders and cheeks of tenons.

   While the #90 is a very handy plane, it's not really that suitable for cleaning up tenons because of it's bull nose.  So, out of the three mentioned a #92 or #93 would be more versitile, like the #90 they can also be used as a small chisel plane.  If I had only one to choose, I would go with the #92.  FWIW.

   Bszydlo,

   I have only one trimming plane:  a #92.  I have never had the need or inclination to get another one.
