Morgan.
Why?
Almost everybody can get a superior example for not too much money, and they are one of the best designs in any case.

Ones that I can't afford. Flowing Hair and Draped Bust. The flowing hair has such a crude appearance representing the technology of the Early American minting and design process. Truly historical!

Flowing hair is my favorite, I like the early designs and I think the draped bust is ugly.

In general the older the better, thus flowing hair, but in this case I have always been struck by the beauty of the Peace dollar, and even more so when I recently read and saw the model used to sculpt her -  |

For straight beauty I'm in the Peace dollar camp all day long. 1921 high relief specifically. The Gobrecht dollar pattern, my favorite is the Judd 58 variety, as this was the coin that really kick started my numismatic career so long ago, when I presented a discussion talk on it at my local coin club, which in turn led to a scholarship to the ANA Summer Seminar in 1982 for a week with Q. David Bowers. https://uspatterns.stores.yahoo.net/j58p61.html"Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

Draped Bust. The simplistic elegance of the design coupled with the patina of time these often exhibit.
