Lennon's Rickenbacker 325 for me.
What's the Hofner like to play? I tried one once in a little hippie
guitar shop and while everyone was reverent towards it out of deference
to McCartney, I found it kind of stiff.
I've owned Rickenbacker 4001s and 4003s. The one I always wanted -- of course, I'm veering away from Beatles' instruments now -- was the 4002.
Congrats on your impressive collection!

Which of these do you figure is the most rare/valuable?
I remember two or three decades ago they came out with a replica of
John's black Rickenbacker and even that commands a hefty price these
days.

String tension different, but really fast and 'easy' to play. But unintentional string bends are more obvious.

There are lots more (non-Beatlish) guitars, basses, keyboards etc. They
do get hired out as backline which is my 'justification' ;- )

George Telecaster
That flanger like effect on one of the "Let It Be" solos and on
"Octopus' Garden."
I agree. George didn't come into his own (indeed, peak) as a guitarist until Abbey Road.
He peaked as an overall musician and songwriter at that time. His synth touches and his two songs were his best.
