I'll organize my thoughts, and make my choices, based on number of "blades".
1 blade: Florist with chisel ground sheepsfoot (but Alox Solo is a close runner-up)
2 blades: Pocket Pal (I'd really like a Victorinox Settler here, but I've never seen one in person)
4 blades: Alox Electrician (trading can opener for sheepsfoot is big plus for me)
5/6 blades: Alox Farmer/Farmer X (haven't handled a Farmer X but the idea of adding the scissors certainly appeals to me)
More blades: Fieldmaster (don't have one, but lengthy cost/benefit analysis suggests it's the best SAK for me)
(FWIW, I currently carry a Minichamp every day, mainly for scissors and pen, but it's little so I'm figuring it doesn't really count in a top 5 list.)

Don't know about five ...
I'd guess my top three are the Huntsman, Recruit (I have less than zero use for the fingernail file on the Cadet), and the Signature (for the pen, and sometimes the scissors).

I made a Top 10 video years ago that you might find worth watching:

These days, without reviewing that video, I would say:

1. Manager, for office carry (Rambler with pen replacing tweezers)
2. Classic, for keychain carry
3. Explorer, for weekend carry
4. One-handed Trekker, w/plain edge, for alternate weekend carry
5. Workchamp, when I'm doing handyman stuff
