favorite LF and ULF lens if you had only one lens

[Professional]

What is favorite meaning here?
If i shoot landscape this will be different than me shooting portraits or shooting architecture indoors and such.
I bought my LF as a full kit that is coming with Rod 150 Sir.N, it is like a general lens, but because i wanted wider i couldn't think more than 90 or 72, so i bought 72, even i didn't use it from the photos i saw from this lens i can confirm it will be one of my favorite lenses for 4x5 definitely.
Now i need a lens that is in range 200-300 for my 4x5, i wanted to buy only brand new, but i see most are gone, so i will go with the alternative more than the main one i was looking as a brand new, thinking about 240mm but not sure if this is gonna give me what i want or not over 210 which i wanted badly as brand new.

8x10 240 Fuji

8x20 360 Gerogon

11x14 15" Ilex Process lens

14x17 24" Artar

Like it has been said favorite sharp? Soft? Landscape? Portrait?

That is just a few of mine.

Probably my Computar 270mm would be the one I would be ok with forever on 7x17...as a 1 and only lens..

Different tastes here..

4x5 - Gundlach Hyperion 9"; verito being a close second.
8x10 field camera - Kodak 305 portrait
8x10 studio camera - B&L Sigmar
14x17 haven't shot enough to settle on anything yet.

4x5 - Kollinear 15cm f12.5
5x7 - Collinear 20cm f7.7
8x10 - Collinear 31cm f6.3
12x20 - Goerz Double Anastigmat Series III 48cm f7.7

8x10...was just the Fuji 300/5.6, but now its equal is the Fuji 250/6.7
11x14...too many lenses and not enough images yet. The 355 G-Claron was nice.

I'll say an f/6.3 Kodak Wide Field Ektar with the appropriate focal length for the format.

My first years with 8x10 I only had a 14" Commercial Ektar and had no issues. If that was all I had today, I'd still be a happy camper.

4x5: 150mm Symmar-S in the field, 210 Symmar-S in the studio.
Still looking for the right lens for my whole-plate camera. 305 G-Claron is a bit long, the 210 Symmar-S covers but is a bit wide. Casually shopping for a deal on a 250mm Fujinon f/6.7. I tend to like "normal" in the field. (Casually shopping means I don't have any money for one at the moment...)

Peter,

The 250mm Fujinon is very nice on WP. I got a good deal on one from Japan. I have only gotten to use it a couple of times, but I really like it. It could possibly replace the 300mm Nikkor M as my favorite.
