Of that list, if I were in the market the first one I would buy would be the Colt, Woodsman or Huntsman either would do for me.
If money were tight, I'd buy a Ruger Standard (the only Ruger I find interesting). The Woodsman is the coolest, the Ruger is the "best" shooter...Meaning, they tend to not be too picky about ammo.

That’s an impossible task for me but I suppose if I HAD to ditch them all but one I’d keep the woodsman

K-22 for me. I've had a half-dozen Rugers of various Marks, a couple of Single Sixes, but the Smiths seem best of the bunch.
You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.

Saw a Performance Center 41 with rail for sale online the other day. Pretty tempting, though my skill set probably ain’t up to it. $1400.
The Kadet 2 conversion for my CZ has a fixed rear sight like a 41. Cost more than my Victory, but is pretty nice.
What fresh Hell is this?

I've chosen a Ruger new model Single Six as a mainstay. There are other 22's around here that might hold more shells or are more accurate than the Ruger. But few are less ammo picky or dependable.

65Jeffrey: I would recommend (considering the day and age and political atmosphere we are in!) that you keep EACH and EVERY one of the aforementioned listed "pistols". Exactly what I have done - as I have multiples of each pistol you listed (except for the Bearcat) and I do NOT plan on letting ANY of them go until the United States of America settles down - a LOT! Best of luck to you with whichever you decide on. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

It looks like Stick swims his 1911's too.
My other auto is a .45
