Phone. Wallet would be a pain, but the phone would let me keep making payments. No phone means loss of communication, navigation, access to train tickets, entertainment. Particularly when I'm away from home, losing the phone would be a car crash.

Don't have a wallet, the loss of phone would be a minor inconvenience so it's the keys for me.

I think it mostly depends on the circumstances and particularly where you are. Makes a big difference if you're at home, on holiday, 200 miles from home etc.

In theory I could cancel anything in my wallet in minutes and replace it in a few days for free and use my phone to still do anything I needed to.

I could fire up my previous phone in a few minutes and do more or less anything I needed to, and replace it in a few days with an excuse to buy something shiny and new.

The keys very much depends on where I am. If I'm 200 miles from home and I'm getting the train home, no biggy as I have spares, other than the cost of a replacement key. If I'm 200 miles from home, and so is the car, then that's probably the most stressful option. If I'm at home, and for example I'm doing something in the front garden and realise I've lost the keys then I'm in for a short stressful period and replacing a lot of keys and locks, but at least I'm doing it from home, so I can deadlock doors, take batteries out of whichever car it is etc.

By co-incidence I found a major high street bank debit card on the floor in a hospital a couple of hours ago.

I reported it to the bank, they thanked me and put an immediate stop on it,

Then, they said they would send out out a new one to the customer in 3/5 days.

The man in question might not even realise he dropped it, or if he has, will be sweating for a few hours wondering what's happened to it.

Keys I think as it’s much more of a hassle. Wherever I am in the world if I lose my phone I can buy any iPhone and restore it from iCloud and e-sim. Which is handy.

Wallet, well I have my phone.

Keys take time to sort and lots of locks need changing.

Phone by a country mile.

Lost your house/car keys, phone someone.
Lost your wallet, phone the bank, etc.

Ability to communicate is top of the list everytime.

My phone is my wallet and car keys and I have spare keys hidden away so the phone is the only thing I’d even slightly care about

None of them, really. My neighbour's got a key to my place, so I could get that and let myself in the house. I keep a spare car key in a drawer. A mobile telephone can be replaced and I write important numbers in a book, in case of loss.

I keep a few bits of sentimental value in my purse, so it's be a shame to lose them. The purse, then.

Phone although it’s all backed up so would be 30 mins of stress at the most. Don’t carry a wallet it’s all on the phone keys can be replaced so that’s a financial stress rather than a worry stress.

None of them would hugely worry me. I don't carry a wallet these days, since I pay for everything using my phone. Losing keys is a pain but hardly the end of the world. I guess losing my phone would be most expensive and hence most annoying.

Phone has the greatest impact but is easily replaced from a back up.

It would be wallet for me as there are some ID cards that would be a proper PITA to replace.

Phone is only used for calls/texts or google traffic spotting, the only reason i don't have a simple phone is for maps.
Wallet would be a headache for a few minutes until put a stop on my bank card and reported licence/digi/dcpc card losses to DVLA.

House and car keys would be the biggie, wifey takes home and personal security seriously.
