My current favorite is an original Scubapro Pilot - it sure does breath well.
But, I believe the most desirable Scubapro 2nd is the Balanced Adjustable (closely followed by the Adjustable). They can't be beat for performance, reliability, and durability. And service parts are still readily available.

Unconverted Pilot for it's engineering and performance.
Balanced Adjustable for performance and looks.

Kind of a toss up for me between the converted pilot, D300, and balanced/adjustable. The G250 is down the list a ways, and anything newer I'm not really interested in.

Must.....show......restraint......
I'd like to hear both barrels:ar15:
I'd say that Beavers likes were as about as predictable as the ones from the old school crowd.

G250. Because they breath awesome. Beaverman it dominates my S600 on the same 1st when serviced by the same excellent technician.
I've got a BA and a 109 that are up there, but both my G250s are slightly better - I can't over-breath them and they crack so light. Some folks talk about dry-mouth from all plastic 2nds but it hasn't bothered me. I think the 250 is metal-barrelled anyway. My dive buddy has a Darth-Vader D-series and I'm dying to give it a go but she never seems to find the right moment to share.
AWAP - not so sure about the availability of BA/109 parts. Do you have a source for diaphragm covers? VDH is out.

recently dove a D350, and now it is on my list. Silky SMOOTH, yet no "push".
on the list: 109/156 (got a bunch & love them - timeless, more than adequate performance, and rugged), G250v (okay, its a 156 with a few more bells), and now the D350.....
