Your "go to" decoy (if you only had one)

Was curious to know what my fellow turkey hunters would consider to be their "go to" turkey decoy if they only had one in their arsenal? I'm getting ready to grab a DSD Jake for my first bird and it got me thinking.

Would you go hen (upright/bedded)? Jake? Strutter?

Interested to see what people think and why.

Which DSD? Upright seems to be the most popular from what I've read.

None if I could only have one, a single hen will often make a bird hang up out of range...

A hen in the breeding position with a jake behind her is much more effective...
