Ok, before I jump on the bandwagon, let me ask you a few questions:
1) What function are these revolvers serving (collection, nightstand, investment, EDC, Outdoor use, etc.)
2) Which ones do you shoot most often?
3) Which ones do YOU like more?
Your original post leaves many of the details out:

Hi Everyone,
If you were forced to keep just 2 of 3 revolvers, which ones would you keep?
These are the options (all in excellent condition):
- Smith & Wesson 686 Stainless Steel 4" barrel - pre-lock model
- Smith and Wesson Governor w/ Hogue grip
- Ruger Security Six Stainless Steel 4" barrel with original target wood grip - tack driver
Now, if it were ME, I would personally keep the Security Six and the S&W 686, largely due to their reputation as some of the best .357's made, as well as their collector value. As has been said, neither of them are being made any more, and both have very desireable traits: (pre-lock on the 686, and factory target grips on the RSS, both in stainless 4" models). If, however, I planned on doing a lot of outdoor activities, I might consider the governor as a carry option for defense against larger 2 and 4 legged threats.
Any gun decisions should be evaluated based on current and projected need. I'm still learning the whole "projected need" thing myself, though...
