Very English of you, your choices of mostly Billiard/Canadian/Lumberman/Lovat type shape. I too think the billiard is easily one of the best standard shapes. Straight billiards, I don't care nearly as much for a bent billiard myself.
That being said, I'm also a bad one to ask as I'm nearly over 150 pipes myself and I love them all. I don't care at all about a rotation. I don't see the point personally. A bunch of nice pipes you've got, personally I'd rather have 100-200 oddball and cherished pipes than beat myself to death trying to just choose like 5 or 10 pipes. I couldn't do it. If I ended up leaving some pipes I just didn't like sit for years on end, I'd get rid of them to a new home who would use the pipe. Pipes are the ONLY thing I collect, I have very little of anything else at all. I don't collect a single other thing except pipes and tobacco.
