I guess it depends how you normally use flashes....
At one point, I owned 2 SB910s, 2 SB700s, 4 YN-560 II's, and an SB400.
I sold the SB910s- the only advantage they have (for me) over the SB700s was the ability to use an external power pack for faster recycle. However, I mostly used these for event work in dark environments, so I'm usually shooting at high ISOs and found I didn't need the extra power. The 910 also has a multi-flash-burst mode (can't recall the exact name) that the 700s don't.
I've kept one of the SB700s- the only advantage these had for me over the YN-560's is the TTL capability. But- most of my flash work is off camera, and the TTL didn't work well enough for the way that I light for me to use it. So I'm mostly in manual mode anyway. Kept the one so that I have a relatively powerful TTL flash if the odd situation calls for it (again, I mostly only use flash for event work when I'm also tending to shoot high iso)
I've kept all the YN-560's. They're cheap and reliable, and just as powerful as the SB700s/910. Haven't had one fail on me. Can stick them on light stands, and while I use good light stands and bag them, I don't really worry about destroying a $400 flash unit if someone happens to knock it over somehow.
I use the SB400 for personal photos when I want something "light."
