If you could keep only one P&S...

Olympus XA4. Not exactly a point and shoot but its been the closest I've enjoyed using.

Stylus Epic and XA didn't click for me. I haven't tried any of the more expensive cameras in this class. The FF90 was just too large and loud. Don't care about the results as I really didn't enjoy using the camera at all. A shame as I've seen good results with it.
 
For me it would be a P&S that has a 28mm lens with no/minimal barrel distortion and no/minimum light falloff. It also must have manual exposure option, F stop up to 16 and decent battery life. Ergonomics, reliability and decent battery life are also important.

I have not used the Ricoh Gr1v, but if that is what I'm describing above then for me it would be Ricoh GR1v.
 
It is hard for me to decide between mju:2 and Fuji Silvi, probably the latter for being wider, maybe the former for being harder to kill. None of the Ricohs unless you give me a steady supply of them - as much as I love them, I've gone through too many of them to believe that they are actually keepers of mju qualities (i.e. any good after a year in coat pockets).

None of the boutique things for sure - if it is too expensive to drop, lose or mess up, I may as well bring a real camera.
 
Pen EE, because it's simple. No focus, selenium exposure control (which is still accurate enough for slide film - I ran a roll through after replacing the light seals recently) and built very solidly. Mine has survived nearly 30 years with me, so far.

PS.I'm assuming that the Rollei 35 isn't a point and shoot, due to the absence of automation.
 
I'd say it's a toss-up between the Pentax PC35 or an Olympus Stylus Epic (mju).

Pretty much any of the Oly XA's would be in there too but they're technically rf's...
