It's a tricky decision. I use the 50, 80 and 150 but really wish I had the 65 as I often need something between the 50 and 80 but I don't want the heft of yet another lens! The 43 offers a lot of opportunities as an additional lens if you've got the 50 but if you haven't then I'd recommend the 50 as it's probably more applicable to a greater number of scenes. If you're only buying three lenses then the 50, 80 and 150 are probably the ones I'd recommend but 50, 65, 150 or 50, 65, 80 would be equally valid choices for me. I use the 150 infrequently and most of the images I've produced with it have been less interesting than those I've produced with the 50 and 80.

Anyway, those are my personal experiences.
