I would want an MX Leader that actually fit me - the stock geo never worked for me.
But I haven't ridden my Responsorium yet.

I'm sorry, you do not deserve a reprimand. You've expressed yourself well, if at length, and you've pointed out a couple of big reasons for having more than one bike (i.e., different riding experiences, and emotional connections). Unless driven by sheer necessity, I really can't understand the whole "could only have one" thing.
Even if your interest in a bicycle is only for transportation, you quickly learn you need at least two. That way, the need for maintenance doesn't become a crisis.
If it could only be one, I'd have to say either an IF Club Racer or a Hampsten Classic OS (made by IF...) 'cuz I think they'd make me the sweet, snappy "all arounder" that I want to compliment my Nove and Love #3.
However, if this hypothetical steel frame was going to form the basis for my one and only bike, I would have to select a Pegoretti Responsorium. I'll have to get back to you regarding the paint scheme, though.
GO!
While I like to have more than one, for varieties sake, I have to say that my Kirk is taking care of all my needs.
I could attach photos, but you guys would laugh at my fredness.
its like quantum physics, there is only the one you're riding.

MAM:
Gayle's color scheme clashes with your bags.:willy:
AS to the OP, I'm not far enough along to make that call. And my first response is--a mountain bike. All of my bikes are steel, so I'd be stuck with one bike under the materials premise. That is unless I bought ti. And I really like ti.
Really, I have enough mental gyrations to occupy me without trying to nail down the one single most perfect bike for me in any or all configurations.
Top 5--now that'd be a bit easier for most folks to answer-DBRK (and all the other folks with more than a room full) naturally gets a top 10.
