I have for a long time wanted a Hunter carbide tool. I can only get one at this time, but there are many choices. Jimmy Clewes let me use his Mate 1 at the symposium and I did like that. It is only available on his site. Hunter has the Viceroy that may be similar. Then there is the Hercules and Osprey.
If only one, what would be your choice, cutter size and style. I turn mostly things less than 12", some small boxes, spindles. Note I have used the flat style carbide and didn't really like them. I have Thompson gouges and scrapers and planning to buy a D-Way skew and spindle gouge.
