If we stick to warbugs, I'd go with the L-5. If you go with all small warbirds, it'd be an N3N for me.

Aeronca L-16B (unless a J2F-6 Duck counts!)

L-17, definitely!

L-5 for me...been looking for about a year and a half now for one. 
I just looked at the sixth one a few weeks ago, no dice. Second choice would be a Chipmunk, a late model ex-RCAF one.

Always liked the L-4's. In my library, I have the book "box seat over hell". Great stories about the "little birds". But if I was able to get another, I would go O-1E/L-19.

I am also happy that there are some N3N fans out there.

I'd love a PT-22 or a N3N, even better both.
There is something about the PT-22, it seems to be a cross of the barnstormers of the 20 / 30s with the warbird look of the 40s.

Fw 149D or Pilatus P-3.
Oh wait, I'm already flying those!

Does a Storch count as a warbug ?
I like that ride. Quite impressive to see it displayed also.

L-17 hands down, I have about 30 hours in one and it is a great warbug!

L-1 has it just oozes cool! Plus it has a round motor in a 300 lyc one of the best smaller radials made.

Easy. A Taylorcraft L-2 and an Aeronca L-3. Both World War 2 vintage warbugs built in Ohio.

Hi--
Being a Canuck, I'd opt for either an Auster AOP6 (RCAF) or an L-19 (Canadian Army); or if we're talking small "spotters" in a broader sense, maybe a replica World War I RAF B.E.2.
Or if we're talking Army Co-op generally, an Allison Mustang!
Cheers

How big is a bug?
I guess I'd always thought just L-birds applied, but if it goes all the way up to an O-52 put me down for an Owl.
Gotta' love that funky, Wildcat-esque gear retraction.

Birddog. A friend of mine flew birddogs for the Army. Just getting the chance to use 60 degrees of flaps and do the super steep approach, that would be cool. Other than that one, I like the L5 Stinsons. I (fuzzy memory) read some where that some models had a "Droopy Wing"? I'm not sure what that means but I got the impression that a control could be used to change the wing in some way, maybe it's just flaps.........
