Bubba, if it had to come down to one and one only - which one would you pick and why? Is there a sentimental favorite in the group?

Hard decision, so I will use "writer's discretion" to answer.

My overall favorite....5512

Most versatile..........16700

Most comfortable......Explorer II

Most Sentimental......Daytona (Gift from Wife)
