Of the choices it has to be hoe for me, I have 1 fork, 1 spade, and 4 hoes. I have different hoes for different jobs and without them I'd be climbing all over my raised beds.
My favourite tool is my novice, still to learn, "Gardening Buddy" n what a "Tool" at times!
But I love him to bits!
Seriously! I don't think I could ever do without my "Mantis" Tiller! These days! Although initial outlay a little expensive! Saved some real backache!
It's a "Right bit of Kit!" And as saved no end of time!

My favourite tool is an ultra light Spear and Jackson, long handled hand fork. the handle is tubular alluminium and the fork is stainless, Idead for weeding raised beds without bending. You can also place burgers on it and hand them round at the BBQ.
Last 18months, it was my apse. Only way to (fairly) easily dig deep on neglected land. Now, it's my garden fork. In the last couple of months it's the only tool I've used apart from pruners and wheelbarrow ( which, too, is worth it's weight in gold).

Another vote for dutch hoe. Would'nt be without it.
I grew up in the Fens. Folk down there wouldn't touch a Dutch Hoe with a tractor at arm's length. Simply isn't as efficient as a Draw Hoe. One pull of my hoe and a swathe of weeds get chopped off, top soil aerated, and with no great effort. They come in different sizes, too, from onion hoes to the giant I have. There are times when British is clearly best.
