Gold Crown I
I like all Gold Crowns, but if I had to pick my favorite, and you asked.
The GCI had better ball counters on the foot rail, not the cheap outsourced ones after the GC II's, the pocket irons had barrel holes so the irons would not wiggle loose over time, had better wood for the slate frames and had dowled slates to rid the table of roll offs over the seams, plus the formica was top notch and all the wood was kiln dried, the flint based/orange slate was repairable if it cracked. The GC II had the next generation of slate, kinda a blue color and the pocket irons did not have the barrel holes, but the GC II had leg levelers, and that was 'nice' to have.

diamond
Mine is diamond, I like that the rails are flush with pockets. and that the pockets are tight and also have a deep shelf.

Gold Crown I
there is no substitute for the brunswick gold crown I. highpockets in memphis, tn has over a dozen of them and there is nothing like it when playing one pocket and you slam that long cross-corner bank and get that assuring 'POP!' from the back of the pocket; especially if you hit it in the one that has the removable metal ashtray.

Gci
Also, try and get a Diamond in a basement around a corner, tho I do love em, just grew up on the GC I's and II's. I judge all others playability by those evolved tables. I always wondered which Brunswick pros were involved in their final design, makes you wonder if Mosconi had some input. You can really get your legs under em and stabilize you stance, the frame too speaks for itself.
