My vote goes to the black and deskirted GS-4. The Daylight paint is too colorful to me. Also, black and deskirted GS-4´s make a better look on evey train, no matter if it is a heavyweight, streamliner or freight train. Another favourite would be the 4-10-2 SP-1, but the GS-4 is just a little bit more beautiful.

I prefer the single headlight GS2 to the GS4, but my favorite would be the MT4 with skyline casing, also a multi-purpose loco often seen double headed with an AC on the Overland Limited.
