Since you mentioned for fun and the collection, I picked the M14/M1A, as its clearly more valuable money wise, and has a role in target and range shooting as well. (competition)

If I thought I might have to fight w/ one, and full auto was not out of the question, a true AK starts to look more attractive, especially from a veh or in close quarters and urban. The compact M4 is popular because of its size and portability. (yeah, I know, no AR's, but I only mention it for comparison's sake)
An m14/M1A, full size is pretty long to corner with and clear rooms.

Now, you throw something like a SOCOM or Squad Scout in the equation and it would be a really tough choice.
