It would totally depend on the circumstances, location, and type of activity.
In the woods / wilderness - I'd rock an old school single action army without much issue or similar design.
In town, a 1911 or Hi Power would be more my style, or perhaps a Walther P38, though I'd prefer the Hi Power.
Charging into a known gunfight? Definitely the Hi Power because of its (if we're going absolute traditional) 13 round magazine over the 7 of the 1911, or 5 of the SAA (leaving an empty chamber for carry...)
