My personal (of units produced) remains the Mark V.
Had the opportunity to purchase a new one for $7500 in about 1977, which might as well of been 7.5 million to a collage student!
 
Last night we saw the Australian tribute band to Pink Floyd perform an amazing show to a delighted crowd. With faithful duplications of songs from Atom Heart Mother to the Wall, they basically never missed a trick. Incredible laser light and CGI animations, including a return of a flying pig and kangaroo made for a laughable but delightful entertainment experience!

As for the 10 Best Keyboards, that's almost too easy. In no particular order:

M4000
Mellotron MkVI
Mellotron MkII
Chamberlin M1
Chamberlin 600
Chamberlin 300
Chamberlin Riviera
Mellotron 400
Mellotron MkV
Mellotron Mk1
Wow!  A Mellotron dominated favorites list.  Not much room for anything else.  How would one break this down? 
- Mellotrons as a category of instruments?
- M400's as the most abundant?
- MkII's as the most aesthetically desirable?
- M4000's as the most practically desirable?
- T-550's as the most rarest?
 
Perhaps two favorites lists: One with Mellotrons as a general category among other keys; the other exclusively tape replay instruments.
