I would go with Latitude/DD/Westside. The other people who throw these knows why too. Best discs on the market IMO.

My top choice would be MVP, but I could definitely live with Discraft.
Going with MVP would leave some holes in my bag (Nuke, Zone, Comet), but life without the Amp would be difficult. I prefer Wizards for putting (better grip, fewer chain-outs), but I could deal with Ions or Challengers. The BuzzzSS and Axis are almost inter-changeable, as are the Vector and Wasp. Discraft just doesn't make a disc that lines up well with the Amp.

MVP

Love their mids and putters, still getting into their drivers, but I like what Ive seen so far. Plus on most of the courses I play a max d driver really isnt necessary

Discmania. I throw a mixed bag with several Innova molds now, but I think I could get by with the
MD2
FD
CD
PD

...until I had to putt. I don't like deep putters. Maybe the D3 would work for me.

P1 is a beadless aviar, not as deep as P2

I'd go with Innova.

I know you didn't ask for us to post our bags, but what we throw will influence our decisions on this topic. Like many above, it's what I grew up throwing and mostly what I throw now, so familiarity is one thing from it. Right now I throw Innova, Discraft and a dabble of Gateway (which will likely be dropped).

The other thing is that so much of my game is built around Teebirds . There are many threads out there about finding a non-Innova replacement or alternative for Teebirds, and more or less none has been found. Every bag needs a spot for something that is long and straight, and nothing fits that spot like a Teebird. I'd likely end up with Firebird/Eagles/Teebirds/Rocs/(Yeti and/or JK) Aviars/Rhynos and be really happy with it.

Discraft would by my second option. My short game is built around Rhynos (and soon to be Comets), and so that would take some re-working. I'd replace Rhynos with a Zone, figure out what to throw as a true putter, keep my Hornet/Comet mid setup the same, swap a Firebird for a Predator, Eagles for Cyclones, and probably a Stalker for Teebirds. I'm not a huge fan of Ti plastics, but I'd love a Ti Comet.

Late64 would probably be the third option because they are doing really innovative things with their discs and plastics. Give their variety, I could make something work. I've been really impressed with my Opto Pure.

My first choice would be Vibram since most of what I throw is Vibram already, but I could also work very well with Discraft since that is what I started playing with and what I have transitioned to Vibram from.

My Vibram bag would be:
Distance Drivers:
Max weight Lace
170-ish Lace
159 Lace

Fairways:
175 F Ascent
170 M Ascent
172 domey M Trak
170 flat M Trak

Mids:
176 M Obex
176 '12 VO Ibex
176 M Ibex
175 S Ibex
174 M Ridge

Putters:
170 M Sole
174 M VP

If I was with Discraft, my bag would be:
Distance Drivers:
Force
3 - ESP Nukes (fresh, beat, lightweight)

Fairways:
Stalker
XL
Xpress

Mids:
CryZtal FLX Drone
Z Wasp
Ti Buzzz
Z Buzzz
Z Comet
ESP Comet
X Comet
CryZtal Challenger

Putters:
ESP FLX Challenger

Right now I throw a mixed bag of

* 1 from Discraft
* 9 from Innova / Discmania
* 10 from Latitude 64 / Westside / Dynamic Discs

Choosing one would easily be Latitude 64 / Westside / Dynamic Discs. Not just because I could retain the most discs from my current bag either. Westside and Latitude 64 dominate the putters and midranges that are comfortable for me. Those save more strokes by far than any distance driver can. I could find multiple distance drivers that fit me from any manufacturer realistically. Hardest part would be adjusting to finding a new fast/understable driver (maybe Flow/Saint) and a new max overstable driver as a utility disc (maybe Giant/XXX). I honestly have not tried anything from Dynamic Discs yet, and while I may enjoy them, wouldn't even need to add them into the mix to be wholly satisfied with the one manufacturer lineup.

I could play a whole round with just an Eco1 Swan 2, Opto Pain, and VIP King. Those 3 can workhorse just about every hole if absolutely needed.

Innova.

Not because they make the best discs, but I'm the most familiar with them.

I could do it with any of the big three, but would have the hardest time with Innova. It would be especially tricky with midranges. I've fallen out of love with Rocs because of the plastic they come in. Also have somewhat of an issue with DC and their lack of good fairways, but that would be easier to cope with. The easiest switch would be to lat/dd/westside. They're the majority in my bag as it is (carry 5 westside/dd distance drivers, 2 dd fairways, and 4 DD/westside mids.). Putters would be the only difficult thing, but the judges I have are close enough to my wizards to make the switch not be that bad.
