 My choice would be trumpet. No matter what you choose, it would be what you are best with.

why ya gotta make us choose just one?  haha....I had to go with the pot call, easiest for me to use and durable yet easy to throw in the pocket and you can really change the tone on them with a couple different strikers--loud or soft--you can pretty much perform any sound out of a good pot call

I love the sound of a box call and it' s ability to penetrate the late spring foliage, but I am more comfortable with a slate or glass pot. I agree with the previous post, choosing 1 call is hard because different birds/situations require different calls, setup, tactics, etc.

Bill is right, it is really a matter of comfort and what you are used to.  For me as a bit of a romantic for old things I like a short box.  I love looking at the wood every time I pull it out of my vest, I love the feel of it in my hands and the sound, well... I love the versitility of what wood offers.

I would carry a mahogany scratch box, no doubt about it, but I surely would miss having a mouth call for that last, close-up "cluck."

After neally 30 years of dropping toms (never killed a hen and only killed 1 jake in my life), my favorite go to call is a Slate.  IMHO, nothing performs as well.  I take a truckload of calls (pots, boxes, long boxes and flutes) with me to the woods every spring and I always kill birds with pot calls. 

I am just guessing on the following since I haven't recorded my kills.   I have bagged probably 35 birds.  1 with a box around 1985, 4 or 5 with diaphrams and the other 30 or so birds with pot calls (everything but copper).

My short box call can equal any of my fine pots calls in sound quality and can be used to gobble so it would be my choice.
