Of all the master's (not open) records, which is the "best"? i.e. Which one will last the longest before it is broken?

Here are a few more candidates for best Male Master's Record in my most humble opinion of course:
starting with my top candidate:
1) 45 - 49 agegroup 100 LCM butterfly by Paul Carter: 56.42 (converts to around 50 flat or so in scy I believe...maybe even sub 50 seconds in scy?)
2) 40 -44 agegroup 200 SCM butterly by Bill Specht: 2:02.97 (Yikes!!)
3) All 3 SCY IM records in 35 - 39 age group...all held by Ron Karnaugh:
100 IM: 50.45, 200 IM: 1:48.74, 400 IM: 3:56.76
Also throw in the LCM 200 IM record for the 35 - 39 agegroup as well ...also held by Dr. Ron Karnaugh at 2:05 something.
4) Rich Abrahams 60 - 64 year old record for the 100 SCY butterly 54.92
(I was at that meet a couple of years ago in coral springs waiting behind the blocks to swim my 100 fly in the 40-44 year old age group when I witnessed this race ....it blew my mind....I went 56.38 a few heats later .....1.5 seconds slower than Rich's time ...and I'm 20 years younger than Rich!)
5) 35 - 39 year old LCM 200 free: Vlad Pyshnenko at 1:52.84
6) 40 - 44 year old LCM 200 free: Rich Seager at 1:55.06
7) 45 - 49 year old LCM 200 fly: Dennis Baker at 2:06.94
