Favorite vs. most wanted

So what is everyone's favorite kite and if you had to pick 1 kite that you could get (for free) what would it be?

Mine is the 10.5m blade 3. Haven't been exposed to anything else so for now I'm still searching for a new depower kite.

Well my new favorite is my PL Phantom 18m. It flies so effortlessly in the right wind and can power you up in a hurry with just a little more wind. If I were to be able to pick out one kite for free, it would be a flysurfer speed III 15.

For years it was the l.d. 3m. Now the 8m Manta 1 can be taught to listen. Having fun from 10-35kts. Must work in the beginning, but can be stalled to loose almost all power in the upper end! Flys upside down- downwind.
