I have chosen "portability" lately. I now have a high-quality APO refractor of small aperture that still gives great views with the right kind of EP and is fantastic for widefield photography. It'll get far more airtime than any other scope I own. It fits (with equatorial mount) into a single briefcase. It goes everywhere with me.
At the other end of the spectrum though - I'm still building my dual 12" binocular telescope - which isn't any where near as portable. Being a collapsible truss system it's still more portable than my 12" LX200GPS - which is too much for me to lug around any more. The views are phenomenal though a 12" bino.
If the question were: "If you were only able to have ONE, SINGLE scope...." than I'd have to answer "aperture". I'd then hire a slave to move it around for me.
