The A500 has to win in terms of value for its release date, and overall significance and importance. All the same, you are missing out if you haven't spent time with the A1200, plus an A1200 can be upgraded with modern hardware to a much higher level, and WHDLoad largely erases the old compatibility issues.

A1000 for looks and that gorgeous 1.x Kickstart in a big box vibe. A1200 for daily use.

Amiga 1000, 2nd fav' full CDTV set up with keyboard and mouse and floppy drives. I like the A1000 keyboard more and the keyboard goes under the machine so it takes up the least amount of desk space otherwise it would be joint 1st place.

Not seen the YT video but guessing it's Commodore released products on store shelves not custom build setups.

A3000 without doubt! A1000 gets close but only due its gorgeous looks and being the first Amiga.

CD32, followed very closely by the A1200, but I chose CD32 because I have fond memories of my CD32+FMV combo that I owned BITD.

A600 - Just because I'm the only one here who is going to say that.
I've never owned one but I like the size.
I'm really not fussed on AGA which I will always regard as a lame attempt at a hardware upgrade.

I loved my A500, but I yearned for the A1200 when it came out. The A1200 allowed me to upgrade to levels that the A500 simply wasn't able to.
In its final form I got it into a tower, with RTG through BVision.
