Boy, that's a hard one. To keep it fairly short, I have to say that the HT-44/SX-117 gets more use. Emotionally, I'm more attached to the HT-32/SX-101A but the HT-44/SX-117 is almost like solid state in terms of stability and convenience. The pair can be slaved together for "tranceive" operation. There's not much AM action here and I only have a vertical, so the Ranger/SX-100 mostly sits. I love the SX-100 in spite of its well known faults. It's the one I'll take to the nursing home, just to look at if there's no more AM.
I forgot to mention an S-20R which is a great little radio. It reminds me of (and is the ancestor of) the S-40A that my Dad had which started the whole thing for me.
Actually, when I started I wanted everything but I've trimmed down to the point where I only have the pieces I really want.
If I go first, my wife says she's keeping the Ranger and the SX-16 to remind her of me. She likes the looks.
If she goes first I'm keeping the Marantz 2285B & BIC Venturi Spec 6 Formula II's that we call "Hers" and she abuses with "Oldies".
