Neither Canon nor Nikon have all the good lenses. Between some Canon L favorites, and some of the Nikkors, I am doomed to be a dual-brand shooter forever. To keep from going broke, I try to avoid too much duplication in lenses, and shoot with older camera bodies.
Yes, Canon Speedlites have RT, and even without RT, the 600EX is my idea of the best shoe-mount flash, but the SB-910 is a close second. The tie-breaker, for me, is the apparently sturdier latch and mount of the 600EX, and the way the electrical contacts engage in a way that cuts through any debris or lubricant on the hot shoe.
To be clear, I am not necessarily recommending that anyone become a dual-brand Canon-Nikon shooter; the main idea is that both brands are quite good. The skill and art of the shooter are what is important. Trying to learn, and use, two systems, can make progress more difficult. I had (and have) the advantage of mentors using both brands, to somewhat offset the complexity of trying to learn and use two systems.
I do not know enough about Oympus equipment to comment, other than to repeat myself: trying to learn, and use, two systems, can make progress more difficult.
