You don't carry the Sig?
Hmmm, if you don't want it...

Which one to sell

The only reasons I can think of to sale one of them is if you need the money or you don't like one of them. But since you don't, there is no reason to sale one. If you don't have a reason to sale one of them, than why do it?
If you sale one of them, what will you have to show for the money say, a year from now? My guess is nothing. Just put it up, and a year from now you can pull it out and be glad you still have it. You don't have to shoot a gun (but it helps) to enjoy owning it.
If you think your guns would be happier being shot, I'll volunteer my services.

Are you selling because you want to or need to.
Figure the one that has the least use to you.
With what everyone has said and you have a duplicate in 9mm, sell one of the 9mms, the one that has the least use to you.

You said:
To me needing the money or disliking a gun (which obviously you don't since you have to ask which to sell) are really the only reasons to sell. Maybe if you want to consolodate to one or two calibers, MOA, brands, etc.
If your reason for selling is you aren't shooting much and you are more into another hobby right now, don't sell. Sure, it will give you extra money to put into that hobby, but so will waiting a bit and saving for what you want. Eventually, you may get more into shooting again and then you'll be kicking yourself for selling. Also, outside of a need for some reason, you shouldn't sell- if you bought them new fairly recently (within a couple years) you'll probably lose money on the sale, and if you might replace them later they will cost you more then than what you paid or will get for them, so financially it only makes sense if you really dislike the gun and want to be rid of it or if you really have to sell because you really need the money.
Now, if you still want to sell, I don't think you have any obvious candidates:
-The Buckmark? You really should have a .22lr on hand, they are much less money to feed. A standard Buckmark probably won't give you that much money anyway.
-The Walther? It is your carry gun, and like you said, for you the 220 is too big to carry (in which case I'm sure the CZ is too).
-The CZ? You seem to have a lot of money invested in this gun. You won't get any of that money for custom work back. In fact, since it isn't stock, it may be harder to sell and thus you may have to drop the price below what a stock gun would be worth in order to sell it in a reasonable time frame.
-The SIG? Everyone needs at least one .45ACP. It would be unAmerican to not have a .45 . Seriously, it is a great caliber for fun, the range, and home defense. You have two 9mms in the Walther and CZ, this is it for .45ACP. SIG is also a great platform. You shouldn't sell unless you really need to.
So, I see no obvious candidates. Try it, if the SIG will work CCW for you (you may need to change carry style and holster style) sell the Walther. Since you reload (making shooting more economical) and if you don't use it much, maybe the Buckmark. I'd keep the SIG if at all possible though, and I'd be hesitant to sell a CZ 75B with $700 in it since you may only get half that (or even less depending upon your local market).

Good rule of thumb:
Never, never, and I mean never sell/trade or give away a Sig.

Great replies and thoughts, guys. I guess you've persuaded me to keep all four on the theory that when I start shooting again I'll be glad to have them all. For me the obvious choice would be the CZ, but dang, I like that gun.
Thanks for all the replies, I'll keep them all.

Buckmark Scope
What kind of "scope" you got on the Buckmark? My inquiring mind wants to know.

The scope on my Buckmark is a MatchDot. I originally tried a holographic from Bushnell but it was so blurry I sent it back. I like the MD. Clear, easy to see and repeatable adjustmets.

Don't sell any of them if you don't have to. If you need to, sell the Buckmark. It will be the easiest (and cheapest) to replace.

I've only sold one gun, and I regret it every time I think about it. A great looking Bulgarian Makarov, with almost a perfect finish.
