This is called "the modem testing problem" (:-))  The usual answers are

 1. just my own brand
 2. the most popular, plus mine

That slowly leads to a series of failures in the industry, followed by 
lots of mergers and acquisitions.

If one has a collection of hardware that have APIs, and a testing 
mechanism that's also programmable, then you can do /line coverage by 
exhaustion/, identify the failing configurations Given a list of failing 
combinations, you can set up tests for just them to run more often.

As it's name suggests, the main test can take a while (:-))
