If you could go on an orbit-and-return planetary mission, which planet would you pick?

An asteroid thought likely to contain valuable metals and other ores. Then I would possess private information of great advantage in the upcoming space resource reindeer games.
Who taught me to think like that? Heh. Dude, you need to own this.

If I have to spend a realistic amount of time in transit, then only Mars is worth it.
If we're talking about a magical short-travel-time trip, then there's no way anyone should be picking anything other than Jupiter or Saturn.

Mars. Then I'd tease Elon about getting there first, every day.

Earth's Deep Oceans - It's the planet we blatantly choose to ignore yet so ripe for discovery.

Earth. The rest are pretty boring from above.
(Unless we're allowed "currently unknown", in which case "the first Earth-like exoplanet we discover". Not setting foot is fine: I'll die happy as an atheist Moses.)
