Based on the them but ignoring the constraints it would be my TOA150 as an alrounder as it's portable, a good imager, great visually, has no need for mirrors to be recoated
I would have said my Mewlon 300 but the main drawbacks are it's less portable, while I have seen very good Mewlon 300 images they are not ideal for that purpose and as it ages Mirrors need recoating. But its main advantage is excellent visual performance across all targets in a permanent observatory.

That is the point Phil, everyone will have different perspectives, etc and that's important. There are minimal constraints, just enough to create a bit of a level playing field. This is not suppose to be anything other than fun on a cloudy day.
