I would certainly have taken Abu Bakr
Abu Said Al-Khudri said:
The Prophet delivered a sermon and said, "Allah gave a choice to one of (His) slaves either to choose this world or what is with Him in the Hereafter. He chose the latter." Abu Bakr wept. I said to myself, "Why is this Sheikh weeping, if Allah gave choice to one (of His) slaves either to choose this world or what is with Him in the Hereafter and he chose the latter?". And that slave was Allah's Apostle himself. Abu Bakr knew more than us. The Prophet said, "O Abu Bakr! Don't weep. The Prophet added..
"Abu- Bakr has favored me much with his property and company. If I were to take a Khalil (companion) from mankind I would certainly have taken Abu Bakr, but the Islamic brotherhood and friendship is sufficient. Close all the gates in the mosque except that of Abu Bakr."
Narrated by Abu Said Al-Khudri. Bukhari Volume 1, Book 8, Number 455.
