PB 1400. Pure nostalgia: it was my first (and for many years only) PowerBook. I restored it from a cs/117 with a busted LCD to a c with a 466MHz G3, 60MB of RAM (RAMDoubled to 120), video out, modem and Ethernet, a new 4GB hard disk and a reconditioned battery. It still works great. Every release of Classilla is tested on it. And I love the keyboard and interchangeable cover plates. Plus, it is a very easy PowerBook to repair (as you can see).
If nostalgia didn't get in the way, I'd probably pick the 3400, but the 2300's form factor is so appealing ...

I voted for the 2400c because it's small, upgradeable, and reasonably capable. You are missing a few machines, though, but I'll forgive you.
If I had my pick of the litter, it would be a Pismo G3 because it can run OS 9, OS X, and Linux. It can take a *beating*. It's upgradeable. (G4 and a gig of RAM? Yes please!) And it's equipped with all the modern connections.
A close second would be the Wallstreet G3.
Peace,
Drew
