Probably my 06 Scion XB is the ultimate gig rig. Plenty of head room, seats fold flat to hold all gear, 34 mpg, totally reliable. However, I now use a Ford Exhibition, or I did before lightening hit it in early December. I'm supposed to get it back possibly tomorrow. Meantime I haul my gear in the back of my "fishing truck", a 97 Silverado with tonneau cover. I don't drive it much because it is in nearly showroom condition, with lots of custom stuff. I have a sound system in it that will rattle windows for blocks around, with Johnny Cash music of course. Trivia--they didn't make the XB in 07, then changed it a lot for 08. Bigger Camry motor, less room, less gas mileage, less box-like. Too bad!

The best all around vehicle to me...a mini van (extended )It can haul all your gear, tools, people etc..
The worst for me..an SUV..gas hog, misleading space (actually small)..expensive repairs..Loading up, terrible ..too high..The minivan is economic, lower to load, twice the room, and it will go on any snow covered road too..
