One microphone. What would it be?

As you've probably figured out by now, us audio engineers like to talk about gear. The other night, a friend and fellow engineer brought up the age-old question: what's the single microphone you'd bring with you if you only had one to pack?
For me, that would be a really hard selection to make -- but if I had to choose, I'd go with either a Heil PR-40 or a Sennheiser MD421.
What would you choose, and why?
