Poll 5 has begun. After another close match-up (in which my choice, once again, loses), it has been decided that the BST of our new pokemon will reside in the 540-559 region. So now it is time to vote of the spread. I've asked five of the most active and knowledgeable "Create a Pokemon" participants to create a spread, which you will now vote on. The five, surprisingly, fairly represent every end of the spectrum, ranging from a very frail, very fast sweeper to a somewhat bulky pokemon that can be expected to stat-up. So, here you go.
PLEASE DO NOT SUGGEST NEW STATS. The time for that is over, and I honestly don't want to be flooded with posts like "give it a 600 spread, because it will suck otherwise." That's just not true. This poll will close in three days.
In analyzing the explanations below, the order in which people are posted is the order of the stats. For example, eric the espeon's stat set is first on the list, and Mario with Lasers' is last.

eric the espeon:
its a fast (but not superfast) slightly bulky mixed sweeper with a bit more sp. attack than attack, its not a glass cannon because though bug/ice has some bag weaknesses it has a few good resists e.g. quakebeam
Deck Knight:
OK, I essentially want this to be a special attacker that can also break Blissey with 101 HP Subs + resistance to Ice Beam. It is reasonably durable and could still use things like Ice Shard and Megahorn, but it would be better suited to using special attacks. Also outspeeds Mence and friends.
Didn't really give an explanation, but that's fine.
Hyra:Okay, these Stats are meant for a Mixed Bug Sweeper with main moves of Megahorn, Blizzard, and Earthquake. I obviously am designing for something that will end up with Compound Eyes.
The HP is the lowest one for a fully evolved Bug yet, but it is higher than Dusknoirs. This reduces the effect Stealth Rock will have on its defences.
The attack averages a 2HKO with Megahorn on Max HP no defense Bronzong, without a boosting nature. Bronzong is probably the most defensive thing it will be hitting with Megahorn, everything else is weak to another move, resistant to Megahorn, or both. It also has a guaranteed 2HKO on Blissey with Megahorn, we don't want a physical Sweeper being walled by Blissey.
The Special Attack scores a guaranteed 2HKO on Skarmory with Blizzard, but will rarely 2HKO it with Ice Beam. Everything else Blizzard will be used on will be something weak to it, exceptions being Dusknoir and Weezing. It will never 2HKO Max HP Dusknoir, even with Blizzard. Weezing takes more damage than Skarmory.
Speed is an awesome little stat. This guy will either sit nicely above the 120 Speed group or the 115 Speed group. With 123 Speed, he could also run an attack boosting nature if desired, because it would sit at 345 with Max Speed.
Defenses are made to be even, and fit within the range of the Bug group. The little boost given to defense is incase this becomes immune to Stealth Rock, I want it to have some ability to switch in on Earthquakes.
HP: 70
Attack: 116 (being Naughty with 252 EVs, reaches 364, EXACTLY the needed to 2HKO Blissey (with 104 HP, Bold) with Megahorn)
Defense: 70
Sp. Atk: 114 (it's a mixed sweeper, anyway)
Sp. Def: 64
Speed: 121 (being Naive with 160 EVs, beats any Infernape)
Total: 555 (same as Arcanine's)
