About 20 years ago, my favorite was an HP264X.
For some reason, I really liked the feel of the keyboard then. Hate it now.

For a basic terminal, its the HP2392A.
Its boxlike shape lets you stack stuff on top of it, or put a small printer
(like a thinkjet) on it. Optional serial (and IIRC parallel)
printer port modules.

For general use, I'll stick with a PC and a decent terminal emulator package.
I still use my old CompuAdd 286 and DOS mode HPTERM program as a console
for the 3000/9X7 under my desk.
