lol I'd go with the Argus, it has the built "on" flash, though you may have a bit of a problem finding replacement bulbs for the flash.

Oh, my. Talk about memories. That Brownie box camera was the first camera i ever used! And the Brownie Starflash was the first brand-new camera I ever had!
My mom had one of those twin lens Argus jobs. Super modern!

The best camera will of course be the one you can stil get film for. But also the condition of the lens. And the accuracy of the shutter. A cloudy lens or a sticking shutter will change everything.
