Infinity is right out, as it isn't a number.  10 is only special because we use base ten.  If we still used base sixty, then sixty would be just as important.  I think it's a toss up between zero and one.  I choose one because from it all other rational numbers can be derived by adding, subtracting, multiplying or dividing one repeatedly.  Of course, when you throw in irrationals, then the elegance is lost, so maybe zero would be better.  Then again, there's 42.
