Great question. First off, no good personal trainer should ever NEED equipment, but I think that is commonly understood. All that is ever necessary is a little bit of space and some creativity!
With that being said, equipment is always a fabulous complement to any training program. If I personally had to choose one piece of equipment, I would probably choose the ViPr, with dumbbells and the TRX coming trailing close behind. The ViPr just has so many varied uses as a means to add load, momentum, etc. to any exercise when compared to other types of equipment; which, at the end of the day, is the only reason we use equipment in the first place. Plus, due to it's shape and varying hand positions, the tool itself has built in progression (e.g. ability to change the lever arm length) that is rare to find in any single piece of equipment.
