I wanted to know which is the best Reverse transcriptase (AMV-RT, MMLV-RT or SS) to use RNA primers for making the cDNA. I have a standard RNA template though.

SS seems the best to me

I believe that the MMLV RT is more sensitive and thus better for small amounts of starting RNA (Stratagene's cDNA kit uses it and claims that it works with as little as 1ng RNA). I've just received the kit today to test so I'll see next week.

Yes, but was wondering if anyone has had experiences with specifically RNA primers for cDNA construction, and NOT DNA primers....thanks...
