Sorry Gaza, the RR-powered 757 is the definitive one to have, the Pratt-powered one is less welcome, and attracts less secondhand interest. Well over 50% of all 757s have Rolls engines.
Major US carriers with Rolls-powered ones are American, Continental, US Airways, America West and American Trans Air.
The 767s are a different story but BA will be getting back the 7 they leased to Qantas in 2001 at sometime (Qantas managed to get all three engine types on their 767 fleet, which must have cost them dearly). They are the only significant addition to the BA fleet currently on the horizon, presumably they will have to be dusked before re-entering service.
