What do you consider to be the best retro MTB stem?

Re:

My fav 100% agree ^^ Sooo nice to ride, beautiful and no effect on the bike's geo.

Also love Dean Ti, Cook Bros, IRD, Syncros cattleprod & Salsa roller.

Depends on the frame you're going to put it on.

Re:

For quality and practicality I`d vote Answer Atac.I got one in 91 and its still doing Sterling service.

Well, I only ever wanted a Syncros Cattlehead or Ringlé Zooka BITD. The former is realistically a much better stem, but the Zooka looks sooo pretty!

Now I'd really like an X-Lite L-somethingorother for my Pace. The machined box section just so suits the RC200's square tubes.

Browsing google images for bar / stem combinations, I came across these beautiful neo-retro Nitto stems and spacers. Wow.

Bit of a fan of KORE And thankfully theyre underated and therefore cheap

I had Atac, Syncros, Ritchey, Tioga, Flextem etc BITD (and they all sucked in their own way... I'd have voted for the Atac if it didn't creak all the time). but the Ringle Trail stem was the one that almost made me feel the same way as those Kylie photos in newspaper Sunday supplements....ahem...
