if i could only have one size would be a 10 yrs old plus stabila black cap cheap as chips 600mm level robust which i would sit on various lengths of 3 x 2 box section refina straight edges.
i actually cant find a single level in recent years that does not read out within 6 months.

Fatmax Extreme XL for me Jonny - had it well over a year and it is spot on still (Never used it to knock any nails in yet though)

Got a set of Stabila 196s recently and impressed with them. The Draper Experts were getting a bit unreliable a few years on after plenty of knocks.

Not sure about using just one level. You could get away with a 600 certainly but would need 3 sizes of straight edge to go with it. You couldn't lay a broken bond floor with a 600 level.
