I have recently been researching for a 338 Lapua build. The Fuzion and Hunter actions are two of the finalists. I like the idea of the 3 locking lugs on the Fuzion. As long as they are equally bearing, they will give better support to the bolt and case head (tripod vs bipod), than a 2-lug design.
Two things I did want on the receiver were integral rail and recoil lug. An integral rail adds a lot of strength to the action, and you don't have to worry about it coming loose.
I do own a Kelbly Stolle action I bought in '81. My only qualm with it is the dovetail rail. You can't use it with a high recoil cartridge or heavy scope.
I feel that when someone asks a question as you have, most of the replies are from people extolling the virtues of actions that they own and use. This is probably because they are all of such high quality, that they are essentially equal, and you can't go wrong with any of them. The most critical part of all this is the smith putting it together, making sure that everything is square, and the receiver is properly bedded.
