Anything from Marlin Watkins, if a windy day the long box, pics of Alaskan yellow fever and serviceberry if I recall correctly. If not Monday then the Watkins short box I have two of them I think I'm partial to the persimmon/maccasscar*

My Grizz Frictionwood goes almost every hunt, I really like that call though the Watkins Coaxer I picked up may replace it after I learn it better.

Pots would be something that I have made from kits, my tulipwood from Old Crow with glass over crystal or crystal over glass, I can never remember that one right.

Big fan of the grizz friction wood myself...I have several soft talker calls but this one seems to elicit the most responses in the early morning hours and I can run it with minimal movement

Many days all i ever use is a mouth call, the same one all day. Many good makers out there so not picky. A ghost cut would be my first choice. On almost any hunt I will have 2-3 mouth calls and maybe a slate. Most days it's just 2 mouth calls, period. I just go with the simplest things that work. I hunt light and simple. Camo clothing, a vest, shotgun, 5 -6 shells and a couple mouth calls. That's it. I haven't failed to fill my home state tags in 25+ years and usually at least a couple OOS tags. Go with what makes you happy, but I'm a simple guy.

Woodhaven ghost cut or Sadler Mcgraw ghost cut.

It helped me take my first and only turkey, it does seem to get them to turn their heads quite often, I just need to become a better caller.

I'd have to go with a Sadler ghost cut or Townsend Osage glass

I'm probably going Ralph Permar delrin classic but I'd sure hate not to have a pot.

A quality paddle caller will most run itself.  It just needs someone to carry it around the woods. Yoder409

You're asking a loaded question.  Imagine you asked what's the one lure you'd use all year or even all week for bass? You'd prob not have the best tool all the time No call works always and  certainly not best. Even the composition changes things but I'll offer a consideration
A longbox might be a good choice for one call. It can do about everything, from all hen sounds, kee kee plus gobble, loud to softening it down some by holding soundboards. Impervious to rain if put in a bread bag. No one call imo can match it
