I've got two now and plan to stay that way.  Both 58" Toelke Chinooks, both 51@28, one's a one piece and the other is a two piece.  Both set up with the same quiver and currently getting them set up with arrows.  I found what I like and also have a backup!

A whip is the the only bow I will always keep. I like to shoot others as well but they are just mistresses.

I only own one and I see no reason to get another. It's a 57#@28" 62" longbow made by Jim Curlee.

If I could only have two it would probably be an "A" riser Bear T/D and a hybrid style longbow by Brandon Stahl or Black Widow.

Would personally select two different bows that present uniquely different, yet fulfilling experiences.

Each would share the same characteristics:

   Stable grip
   Forgiving design
....Fluent draw cycle
   Presents the feeling of stored power
   Soothing bow reaction of the bow at the shot
   Comfortably permit the euphoric feeling of the thrust of the shot
   A bow of which my accuracy is optimized
   Excellent craftsmanship and robust design
   Outstanding customer service
   Delivers the complete shot experience that drives my passion

I have only 2 trad bows now, both recurves.

If I could keep ONE it would be my Samick Sage take-down. Easy to transport, made well and paid for.

One bow. One arrow. My ideal.

A recurve and a hybrid longbow.   I am happy with the ones I have now but would like to try several other 50's style curves and a few hybrid longbows.  My problem with multiple bows is sticking to only one in deer season.  I don't like swapping out, but I enjoy shooting them all.

But which would you have if you could only have one?   :)
