Based on operational effectiveness the Sunderland is a no brainer. But I will always have a soft spot in my heart for the Catalina.

Hunt for the Bismark
Battle of Midway
Rescue of the Indianapolis

for these contributions alone, the Catalina deserves a place of honour in military aviation history.
