I like many but my favorite changes on any given day
Thanks Rusty! Those were genius commercials.
Not to hijack the post, but this guy is interesting. Iron Eyes Cody aka The Crying Indian aka Espera Oscar de Corti was actually an Italian American who was cast as a native american in television shows and movies for 60 years. I think he was most recognized for this pollution commercial.

I voted Reuben. BUT, had it been listed I'd have gone for Italian sausage on good roll, marinara sauce, grilled onions and green pepper, hot cheery peppers, provolone and parm and then toasted.
Reuben pulling away….as it should be.

I like a lot of the choices on the list so what I like the best depends on what I want at that moment!
I have a genetic weak spot for corned beef (and pastrami) and once ate a corned beef sandwich called the "Woody Allen" at the now-closed Carnegie Deli in NYC a few years back. I kid you not - this sandwich was stacked taller than the plate was wide! I think I went into a corned beef coma shortly after that meal...

Reuben edged out my second favorite on the list, Philly cheese steak. I love me a good Reuben!
I can think of two that haven't been mentioned yet.
Growing up in the South, I loved pimento cheese sandwiches. My mom made them often, and it's still a comfort food for me.
When I met my first wife (a Cali girl) she introduced me to monte christo sandwiches. I had never heard of them, I guess they're a yankee thing, but I sure liked them. If you've never had one, look up a recipe and make one. They're really good!

Only one other question is more unanswerable: How high is up. The answer is purely subjective. I'd say every one on the OP's list is my favorite! ;^)

I voted for the Reuben but changed it to the Philly cheese steak.
But i do normally have a BLT on wheat toast 2 or 3 times a week.
I also love a good turkey club.

Many like to use the term in this Internet age, but I've never known what a "comfort food" is.
I had forgotten about pimento cheese sandwiches. A lot of us have eaten these over the years with the spread made from cheese, Miracle Whip, and pimentos. That makes a decent but dull pimento cheese sandwich. I can't handle Miracle Whip so did some creative work of my own years ago and came up with a tasty version of pimento cheese spread.
After grating extra sharp cheddar, I add the bottled chopped pimentos or canned roasted red sweet peppers (may be the same thing as pimentos and you can't use too many) along with finely chopped fresh jalapenos with or without seeds (you can't use too many jalapenos either). Mash everything with a potato masher. If the mixture is too stiff, add a little water, olive oil, or more of the liquid from the pimentos, or use all three liquids. A very little salt and as much freshly grould black pepper as you wish. I haven't bought white bread in decades as it goes better with the dull version of pimento cheese. I prefer toasted seeded rye bread, but many other breads will work as well.
You just brought back a great memory for me. Back in 1977 I was on my first job out of school and working in downtown Reading, PA. At lunch time one day I was exploring and found a little hole in the wall restaurant on a cross street. I had never heard of a Monte Cristo sandwich but the description sounded pretty good. With a little real maple syrup it was great. I wish I could remember the name of that restaurant.
I voted for the Rueben; however, my favorite sandwich is a bacon and tomato on toast with mayo. I prefer the lettuce in a side salad.

While it is technically a sandwich, I really think burgers should be a separate category all their own. For that matter, home made vs store bought sandwiches could be separate categories as well.
I'm surprised that the Rueben is leading. I'm fine with the corned beef and cheese, but sauerkraut? Must be a yankee thing.
Anyway, here's my favorites:
Burger: fried egg, bacon and cheese burger.
Store bought: Club sandwich. I can go with either ham or beef equally. But gotta have the turkey and bacon.
Homemade: Grilled ham and cheese.

Well, IMNHO....
there's sauerkraut and there's sauerkraut! The quality of the 'kraut (and the meat) makes all the difference. Much like there's grits and there's grits! Having had quick grits as a pup and hating them, I've come to love slow-cooked, stone-ground corn grits. Yeah, I'm a grits-loving Yank! To some, that would be a contradiction in terms!
