I would have a crossover in the style of a campdraft or stratoliner but i would get it custom made because i wouldnt want to ruin a vintage by wearing it constantly

I'd want a cross between the Open Road I got a week or so ago and the Resistol I picked up last week. I like the crown and brim of the Open Road and the color of the Resistol. Seems to match just about anything I wear.

Paul; Buy yourself a inexpensive Akubra for a first hat, Campdraft for the crossover style or a stylemaster for the fedora style.
Do your research rather than open ended questions

Only one hat??? That's just crazy talk! :D

But in response to your question, I'd try to find a balance between form, function, and something that looks at least half-way decent on my head. Sun protection is an important factor for me so I'd want a hat with a somewhat wide brim, but not too wide; Joao is a master of the wide-brimmed hat and he wears them very well, but if I wore one of his hats I'd look like a beach umbrella. So, all things considered, I'd probably choose an Akubra Campdraft.

I don't think he was asking us to help him pick out his one hat, I think he just thought it would be a fun question
Strikes me as someone who doesn't have a lid and can't ask a pertinent question.
Just trolling with the usual stuff
.45 vs. 9mm (or whatever)
Glock vs 1911 (or whatever)
AK-47 vs. AR-15
SEC vs. Other Football Conference
Coke vs. Pepsi
Ford vs. Chevy
Beans vs. No Beans in Chili
Manhattan vs. New England Clam Chowder
