I am biased but because I have one, but you need to include German Shorthaired Pointer for most versatile hunting dog ( and other similar dogs, Vizla, GWP etc etc).
When I was researching it, the GSP seemed to be close to top if not the top of the list for hunting versatility.
I got mine 2 years ago from a random couple and she's been great in the field and at home. Points and retrieves quail. She's tracked and bayed a wounded hog. Found my dad's wood handle pocket saw after he ran it over with the tractor.
I don't duck hunt often, but I'm confident she'd be able to water retrieve as well.
And the shedding is 100x better than a Lab. I had 2 labs and they were both great dogs but the shedding was awful.
As mentioned before, most dogs can be pretty versatile but it depends on how much time and effort YOU put in.

I’ve had two fantastic Labs in my lifetime. I wanted to do more quail hunting and switched it up about 7 years ago and bought a GSP. I now have two. Let me begin by saying the first one I purchased has been an unbelievable all around dog. Extremely bright, easy going, great with kids, great hunting dog at pointing, retrieving and tracking, overall great companion. She goes with me everywhere. She came from excellent stock. I thought that I needed two since the first one was so good. The second one is high energy, destructive, gun shy, meek and really worthless
Now she is a very sweet dog and great with my kids but a polar opposite of my first. With a GSP there seems to me no middle ground. You get a 10 or you get a 2.
