New 3DS XL for all DS stuff
Original GBA with the light modification.
Latter can be switched to NGC + GB Player and SNES pad + NGC adapter.

I agree with this statement except that I prefer the GBA SP over the original (with backlit screen).

But sir, original GBA is much more ergonomic.
Megatron:
But the screen is in between your hands...I can't be the only person who hates that. (yes, I am aware this feature is pretty common among handhelds. I still don't like it.)
RealPlumpBox:
I think the DS Lite. You get the amazing DS and GBA library on a fantastic screen.
shenske:
The Gameboy Micro was probably the best handheld I've seen commercially released. Great screen, great button resistance, rechargeable battery, small form factor and the cart fits completely inside of the machine.
I am also a big fan of my original GBA w/ the GBASP backlight screen installed ;D

For me, it's not. I grew up with the original Game Boy, and I like my hands below the screen. But that's just me.
I prefer the SP over the original because it has a rechargable battery and either a backlit or frontlit screen without modification. It's also backwards compatible which is why I prefer it over the Micro. But at the end of the day, I play 100% of my GB/GBC/GBA games on my Game Boy Player anyway.
