What about the iBeLink DM384M X11 ASIC Miner that is selling for $2,000
Maybe we should count X11 out.
but the point is that if one algo starts pulling all our work, like scrypt, the other algos can fight back, so even if we have a farm on x11 and one on scrypt, at least its not one farm getting it all
I see your point, it doesn't matter what algo.

#Blackhole Tech - Verge is the only truly untraceable crypto-currency.
Among other features #MineVerge Tech - Makes Verge the most decentralized crypto-currency in the entire crypto-currencies world.
I think it's important to go for popular algos (here you have most of them
http://www.coinwarz.com/cryptocurrency) and as many as possible. I would suggest Scrypt-N, Scrypt, X11, Keccak, NeoScrypt, CryptoNight, Lyra2REv2, PoW: prime numbers(RieCoin), PoW Cunningham (Primecoin) and Blake-256.
All those algos have strong supporters. Multi-algo feature cannot be underestimated it's yet another great feature!
