Default Favorite post war set

Growing up when I first started collecting I always liked the wood border 1987 Topps that my brother gave me.
Then around 1992 my dad pulled out his cards that were in plastic bags in his closet. I remembered liking the '55 Bowman TV cards. I know that's a set some people dislike. It was rather sad though going through that group of cards and seeing a mouse had nibbled on the Mantle.
Right now I'd like to put together the 1955 set. My dad recently passed away so I was left with all his cards. It's probably the easiest set of all his cards to put together. He already had about 35% of the set and it also contains the least number of cards for a Topps set. It also makes it easier that Mantle isn't in the set, and he already has the Aaron, Mays, Williams, and Clemente.
