What would be on my list:

Leader Building
Guaranty Building
Old Post Office
Hotel Saskatchewan
Northern Crown Building
Dominion Government Building, Federal Building
Balfour Apartments
Strathdee Warehouse
Canada Life Assurance Building
Sherwood Department Store

I would vote for the SaskPower Building hands down if it was in the list. It is unique to Regina.

Worth the 30 minutes of your time if you haven't watched it yet.

On this list, it is between Canada Life, Leader and Dominion. Dominion is such a treasure and really a quite unique structure with it's Art Deco style and pyramid form. A real beauty, especially up close. Canada Life is a little grander than Leader, but there is something about Leader's mid-block setting that is special. But those are three special buildings. Might be able to make a case that the Old Post Office building (Prince Edward) should be on the list as well.
The extra ones on your list did not meet my criteria of 6 floors, although they are great building. Especially the Northern Crown Bank. I suppose the PoW Building is 6 if you count the clock tower.
