My list is simple....
 
Ti Messenger (the best and it's not even close....)
Spirit (first run)
Red Pulse (original)
Super Beast
Wicked

Haven't thrown much Columbia lately, but my top 5 are:

Full Throttle-Shot personal best 731 series.

Piranha Retro-Great for the dry.

Black U-Dot-The Ball of The 80's.

Power Torque-Remember BASF Versathane?

EGO-Definetly,The coolest looking with the oyster/purple mix.

OOPS!!!! I just re-read the OP sorry but I cant forget the old relics

 



Ya knooow, if only the Cub(s) could swing where the ball was.

I must say that I'm surprised that no one else has mentioned the Spirit......that was a hell of a ball for only being $90-100 with drilling.
 
Then again, I haven't thrown Columbia for years either (mainly was a Ebonite/Storm guy from 02-06) , though I have a Complete Bedlam that I'm about ready to get punched up.
