The Raleigh hands down for me. I'm in the process of culling the herd myself. I'm selling off some higher end bikes and keeping some lower end ones just because they're uncommon or unique in some manner or have some feature that satisfies my sense of nostalgia for arguably "better times". Nothing logical about it, it's all based on personal whims. I sold a nice '86 Schwinn Prelude and kept a lower end '78 Soma Prestige that wasn't quite as nice but it was the same color as a Nishiki a good friend had in HS, chrome "socks" and barcons. It is more satisfying to ride that old Soma than it was to ride the Schwinn even though the Schwinn handled better and was a little lighter. The Schwinn was nice but the Soma takes me back 50 years every time I get on it. Dumb I know but that's my criteria these days.
