Like most others, the favorite is the one I use! So we are all biased by 
definition, and I have an HP 1670G. In general I’d go straight to Tek for 
vintage scopes and HP for vintage LAs, and be very somewhat leery about doing 
the opposite...  I chose it because it is small and portable, has a boatload of 
channels, the pattern generator, LCD color screen, integrated keyboard, and 
mine had the 2M deep memory option (important). And I collect HP instruments, 
so it fits right in. Rarer, more recent and expensive (but still very 
affordable) than the dirt cheap CRT based 16xx series - has a hard disk and the 
memory humph. I don’t use it often, but when I do it’s critical. It saved me on 
two projects so far, developing my HP 7970 tape HP–IB driver and repairing my 
Documation card reader (all documented on my YouTube videos if you want to get 
a feel for it). The one downside is the lack of a touchscreen, you need a mouse 
and a lot of clicking around. The 15000/16000 series is better for that but a 
much larger unit, it would be a step up though. If you want to save $ go in the 
other direction for the B&W 16xx series. At their current price points, any of 
them is an absolute steal compared to what they can do for you, and they are 
all perfectly usable. Good time to buy one.
