The A3000 that I booted up just to post this message.

I'd have to say the A3000 for sure on that one. Its wat I use now and have used ever since I got rid of my A1000. I did have an A1200 for a short time, but becides the AGA it didnt run near as well as my A3000 with a graphics card did. I sold that on ebay about a year after I got it since I never used it.

Well, what can I say? I love all of my Amigas :) I have an A500+, AmigaCD32, A4000/PPC/060, A600HD/030 and an A1200 (which is not exactly mine). I guess I`ll vote for my A4000 :-)

I want AmigaOne!

I have an attic space full of Amigas of one sort or another but the three I use the most are my Towered A1200, my A1500 and my little A600 all of which are still working beautifully so these are my favorites.

I like my A4000T, QuikPak style. Though I hate the case, it's a pain to open/close and work in as you have to tip the tower on it's side, the left-side case cover wraps around the top and bottom. Yuck. But the machine is quite nice. Luckily I haven't had any CIA problems or anything, but I've got some SMT PLCC sockets around here somewhere for if I do find myself with a need to remove a CIA chip. It's been my main computer for about 7 years now.

I wouldn't know which to really pick.
First I had the A500+ which seemed to do everything well, but later on I got an A600 which seemed to be pretty much the same, but a lot smaller (which was useful considering my room was the size of a closet). I then got a CD-Rom drive and squirrel for it which was quite cool. Then came the dreaded days when coverdisks started having AGA games on which I couldn't play, so eventually I managed to get an A1200 too. Then I picked up a HD as the CD-Rom drive wasn't much use without one, and here began my Amiga Format days. I call them that for the simple reason the main thing I remember doing was playing through all the reader request games on the disks and filling up my hard-drive with them (obviously as well as the commercial demos). Then I decided to pick up an accellerator, and tower the whole thing.

Many years later in the quest for the ultimate machine, I sold all the parts of my A1200T and bought an A4000. The A4000 isn't impressing my much at the moment due to all the current (and potential) faults, although I know it's a very capable machine.

I think if it came down to it, I would have to say my favorite machine would have been the A500+ because it didn't seen to have any problems and always worked. I would say the A600 as they were virtually identical but the A600 being smaller, but the A600 seemed very fragile, if you knocked it even slightly it would freeze, where as I could throw the A500+ across the room and it wouldn't even care.

All of the machines had memory expansions in them, so memory was never a problem for them.

@Povl

I also like the A1200 because of the number of games you can play on it.  :-)
