 The Differences in the ADDIE, SAM, and Dick and Carey Design Models

Below is a chart displaying the differences of the following models in relation to each other. 

ADDIE	SAM	DICK AND CAREY
Begins with Analysis	Begins with Preparation	Interrelated
Ordered Structure	Agile Approach	Outcome driven
Prolonged	Flexibility	Influential

In regards to building a course or training, I believe ADDIE would be ideal for me. I appreciate the structure of ADDIE, so I can see the benefits of the structure to ensure each component is addressed and included. I could see the benefits of using SAM in building a course or training by ensuring all necessary materials are gathered and accounted for. The Dick and Carey model can be beneficial when constructing a course or training as it's outcome-driven and will have the learners in mind during instruction and creation. Considering these three models, I believe they are flexible to different designers' needs, but my favorite will remain the ADDIE model as I benefit from the structure and seeing the waterfall progression.
