If I could have only one rod then I would likely pick 1/8" 6011 too even though I am far from proficient with it. The other rods simply will not do what 6011 can be made to do in the proper hands. It may not always be the prettiest weld but it can be functional.
Most pro's will tell you if they could have only one rod then they would choose 6010 (likely Lincoln 5P+).
Fortunately for me, I do not limit myself to just one rod as it can help overcome my shortcomings. That said, I do not stock many.
My standard backyard hack stock
1/8 6011 (Hobart 335A)
3/32 6011 (Hobart 335A) (only sometimes do I keep this)
3/32 6013 (only sometimes do I keep this)
5/64 6013 (works surprising well on thin sheet if no wire feeder)
1/8 7014
3/32 7014
1/16 7014 (I hate all 1/16" diameter rods but ease of 7014 makes it tolerable - again beneficial on thin sheet if no wire feeder)
