Right now LC-39B comes to mind:
Saturn V
Saturn IB
Shuttle
Ares 1-X

I'm sure there are others that can beat that?

Ok trivia/history buffs go to work.

Unless the ESA can beat that I sort of doubt that. Russian launch pads are more special purpose build outs aren't they?

In fact I couldn't find any history of a Saturn IB launch at LC-39A for that matter. So even with Saturn V and Shuttle and the F9H that will only make for 3 types of rockets. With the launch of SLS, LC-39B will still comfortably hold onto the lead with up to 5 different types!

OH OH I forgot the Skylab! Now would that count as a different rocket? If so, that would put LC-39A at 4 and tied with LC-39B until SLS.
