I'm personally interested in an original because it's the physical standard that a lot of imitations and emulations decided to implement. For similar reasons, I have a LSI ADM-3A -- not because it's the best terminal ever, but because it is so interwoven into the history of UNIX.
I personally seem to use a VT220 for most of my general hacking. It's nice to have the current loop interface!
