If you could only have one revolver in .357, what model would it be?

I presently have a 3" CS-1 686, a 3" 66-2 and a 7 shot 686 Mtn Gun. I love them all and it would be very hard to pick just one. I also long for both a 3.5" and a 5" pre-model 27. If I could only have one, it would be a 5" 5 screw pre-model 27 or my Mountain Gun.

A six-inch Model 27 or model 28, I don't care which would be my choice. I have a six-inch Model 27 and a six-inch Colt Python. The vaunted Python would go before the Model 27.
 
If I had just ONE .357 revo, and I had to shoot anything over 100 yards away, I would take my:

I would be hard put to choose between a Model 66/4" barrel or a Model 27/6" barrel.
 
If I could only have one: It would have to have a barrel length that is short enough to carry, but long enough for survival situations, say, hunting meat for food; and have enough round capacity to use in self defense situations and quick reloading capability. That leaves ME with a 627PC, 8 shot, with 5" barrel.

Of course, I don't think I could live with only ONE .357 magnum.
