I'd have to go with the cheapest of the five I still have, the Simpson Berkeley.

Easy choice actually, if I had to have one brush...I'd go with the Chubby 2...in 3-band or 2-band...hard to go wrong really...

Muhle Stylo with synthetic fibers (the ones prior to the new Silvertip Fiber, which I haven't tried). Softer than my best boar, and makes and gives up lather better than my badgers. Kevan says the new Silvertip Fibre is even better, which makes my hand tremble to contemplate.

Rooney Heritage Stubby 1 in finest. Not perfect, but as close as you can get.
YMMV, but not by much.

My suggestion is always to make your own. Get an handle, get a knot, some glue and bingo!

If I had to pick only one... I guess it would be my Simpson Duke 2 in best. It was my only brush for 1 year and I was more than happy... till I started checking the brush forum regularly!

another vote for the Duke 2 in best. I've bought several other brushes since first buying the Duke and have yet to find one that fits my needs as well.

Tough, tough call! Would have to go with my Semogue 1305. At home with soaps, creams, bowl or the preferred lace lathering.
