My favorite??

Which is your fav and why?
I like them all for their different attributes, but it breaks down like this:
~The 244, 'cause it was my first Tascam (1982), and I produces a sh-tload of stuff on it, for well over a decade before I got any other Porta.
~The 246, 'cause it was the pinnacle of the VU-meter style 6x4/4-buss recorders, which blows away most other Portas, hands down.
~The 424mkII, 'cause it was my second Tascam Portastudio, (1997), and I also produced another sh-tload of stuff on it,... ref: almost all of my Ramones covers, numbering 28 or so,... were all done on the 424mkII.
~The 424mkIII, just 'cause it's newest and last of the breed, (now discontinued), and who doesn't like new toys?? I've just cut 2 new demo/covers on it this week,...

and "John Lennon's..."

posts in the Mp3 forum).
All the others are fine, though I've limited use on them as of yet, TBA.

I've done more "Check, 1,2,3" -type test recordings on the others, more than actual "productions", which will surely happen as long as there's still a remaining breath in my chest! All as of yet TBD.
