Preference likely depends on lifestyle and personality. I love the looks of sellier but retourne fits my lifestyle much better, so I’d have to go with retourne if I want to use the bag instead of just admiring it in my closet 
If you were to have only one Kelly, sellier or retourne?

Sellier for looks (and I think it is more “me“) but my Retourné actually gets more use.
I vote sellier. It can be dressed up or down, and is such a classic.
It’s an almost impossible decision but if hard pressed I would choose SELLIER K28.
Sellier! Something about it looks very edgey to me yet elegant as well
a tough one - like asking to pick favourite child...
when I first started- my kelly obsession was all about sellier, but after my first retourner, it became clear that I use the retourner on a daily basis, much more than a sellier. Then again a 32 sellier is a very professional looking bag perfect for occasions that require a certain gravitas. (think Grace Kelly?) A tiny sellier makes for a lovely evening bag...Retourner on a strap: perfect for travel.As a warning for anyone who thinks 'just one ' - kellys are highly addictive. highly addictive!
I think that the Kelly reads differently in different sizes, colors & skins, so depending what
color & what size that would help me narrow my choice, but Sellier works well for me
For me Kellys are like the best chocolate... you can't just have one piece or one bite
