all of the suggestions and the reasons for them have been sound .... if looks are important, the brass of the BB is hard to beat .... the BB Steel doesn't have that glitz but it does offer one major positive in the larger calibers, that being a good recoil pad .... as to caliber, if I could only have one Henry, without a doubt, it would be a 45-70 because it can do it all .... I do like the Color Case Hardened look, it is unique with more glitz than the BBS and without my paranoia of trying to keep a BB looking sharp

No wrong answer here, and will vary from person to person.
But if I hadn't already bought one, it would be the 41 mag.

Because I've wanted one for some time, and no one else makes one.
Good luck in what ever you choose.

I would say the BB steel carbine in .357 or .41

The case hardened receivers are truly beautiful. If I didn't already own a flawless H006M, which I happily keep polished with Flitz and Renaissance Wax, that would be my choice, too.

I love my 45 Colt brass big boy, but if I could have only 1...that H011 original is sure a beauty. But at almost $3k Canadian it's an expensive beauty.

357 FTW. I just like the caliber...

Every rifle mentioned are great rifles but it mostly depends on you and the type of shooting you plan to do the most. The Henry rifles with octagon barrels and brass receivers are very beautiful but they are heavier. Steel versions with round barrels are lighter. I have both brass and steel rifles and like them both. The walnut on the brass models seems to have more appealing grain.
For just general all around shooting, I would choose .38spl/.357 magnum - if more knockdown power is desired I would be looking at .44spl/.44 magnum, .45LC, or the .45-70.

I would predict that whatever you decide, down the road you will want another Henry center fire in a different caliber. They are very habit forming.

I'll have to ride a Clydesdale to pack all the Henry's I want. Scabbards hanging all over both sides.
