Canon A-1 on the way.

My personal favorites, as I own them and know them well:
nFD 24/2.8 Floating Element
FD/BL 35mm/2.0 S.S.C. Concave front element/Floating Element
FD/BL 35mm/3.5 S.C. Sharp lens! Quite possibly as sharp as the 50mm Macro.
FD/BL 50mm/3.5 S.S.C. Macro. Superb lens.
FD/BL 50mm/1.4 S.S.C. Wonderful wide open. Wonderful stopped down.
nFD 24mm-70mm Sigma ASPH. The perfect zoom for my needs.

My FD favorites, from when I was actually using my A-1 and F-1Ns:

FDn 24/1.4 L (amazing)
FDn 28/2 (very good)
FDn 35/2 (very good)
FDn 50/1.2 L (all-time favorite lens on any system)
FD 50/1.4 SSC (excellent)
FDn 85/1.2 L (amazing)
FDn 135/2 (amazing)
FDn 35-105/3.5 2-touch zoom (great zoom, about as sharp as primes)

Anti-favorites:

FDn 50/1.8 (meh)
FDn 85/1.8 (too soft, good for some portraits probably)
FDn 135/2.8 (sucked)
FDn 70-210/4 zoom (not too sharp, zoom creep, hated the 1-touch combo ring)
