6. PhonePak
7. Mediator Di boards for 3000 and 4000.

the Video Toaster has to be #1
I know this is NTSC only, but this is really what put Amiga on the map here in the States
#2 A1000 as this started it all
#3 Magni 4004, 4004S & 4005 with Magni 4010  This was an amazing genlock
#4 Deluxe Paint series (particular III and on)
#5 A2000
#6 early GVP 68030 CPU slot boards with SCSI and memory.
#7 A3000D my personal favorite
#8 RTG boards picasso II, EGS, followed by CV 64 and Picasso IV
#9 Digipaint and DCTV
#10 GVP A500+ HD8 and A530

Sorry no AGA amigas.   They were too little to late here in the States.

These rocked my world!

1.  A500
2. DSS8+ (could be tuned for excellent sound)
3. Digital Universe
4. MasPlayer (reliable MP3 playback)
5. Picasso IV
6. Supra's Turbo28
7. Spitfire (best organizer, Palm synch)
8. Supra's memory and SCSI interfaces
9. Ordering (DIR Util)
10. Softwoods Final series of productivity applications

It's not exactly a product, but, I think Aminet deserves honorable mention as milestone in the Amiga's life, as does the Fred Fish compilations, huge software collections on CD.

1. Video Toaster
2. A3000D (which ironically couldn't use a Video Toaster without the case being modified...)
3. Amiga 1000
4. A-Max tied with Shapeshifter - this helped stave off morbidity for many Amiga users who transitioned into the Mac world.  Pity PC-Task and PC-x weren't equally powerful...
5. Lightwave
6. DigiPaint
7. Digiview
8. A2000
9. ICD AdSpeed (personal choice, probably not really relevant)
10. A1200 - the things people have done with that machine...!  They've taken it from an utterly gimped, terrible "wedge" computer, and kitted it out with PPC cards, towerized it and given it PCI slots, USB, SCSI, etc. etc.

any 32-bit RAM.
the fast scsi drives you could get.
Shapeshifter. (not mentioned yet)
The earlier versions of DOpus were nice.
The OS. 2.1 to 3.1 in particular

This makes me think of all the dodgy hardware that you could get.

given todays prices, I'd say ppc card should be high on list. I also like A590 a lot.

Scala indeed.
But the most wierd and complete thing I saw (except scala :-) was STFax!!!
That was an amazing piece of software.
