The 753 is the cheapest CASM followed by the 744.

CASM has to be adjusted for stage length. You can make a 707 look good compared to a 757 depending on stage length. My understanding is that when adjusted for stage length the 757-300 is the lowest CASM aircraft.

And used 777s.

Delta, Boeing revise 787 purchase deal
October 25, 2010
Delta and The Boeing Co. have finalized an agreement regarding Delta’s purchase of 18 Boeing 787-8 aircraft, originally ordered by Northwest Airlines.
Under the agreement, disclosed Monday in a quarterly financial filing, Delta remains a 787 customer, and will begin accepting the aircraft at a rate of six per year starting in 2020.
Under the original order, Delta was going to start taking the aircraft in 2008. Boeing was unable to meet the original delivery date, which is why the agreement was re-negotiated.
Delta has the youngest widebody transoceanic fleet among the major U.S. carriers, with an average aircraft age of 11 years.
