I don't own a Gibson, but of those I've played, my favorites have been:
J-45 (particularly standard models from the mid 2000s)
Advanced Jumbo
J-35
I much prefer the older standard J-45s with the gold headstock logo decal, white button tuners, and orange label. To me they felt a little lighter and a little more versatile. I also think the 1950s look is much better than the current iteration. That said, they did finally get the pickguard placement right.
I've never played an AJ I didn't like, and if I were to buy a Gibson today, that's probably what I'd buy.
The J-35s I've played have been nice as well. A good J-35 is kind of a middle ground between the J-45 and the AJ.
