I already have Rode 150 Sironar N and Schn 72 SA XL as brand new, and will skip the lenses i have for Graphlex that are on Graphlex lens boards, not sure what else to get, in my mind there are only 3 lenses i am really interested in to get but i can't make sure, and they are: 90mm, 210mm, and 300mm.

I have 72 so definitely not thinking about 65 or 75, and 90 isn't that much far but i feel 90 will have something in use beside 72mm, even in my digital side i have many or diffeerent lenses in that ULTRA/Super wide angle side, so why not doing the same, so if that 72mm is nealy as 17mm or 20mm equivalent that what is 90mm, 35mm for example? and i am also thinking to replace that 150 version i have with another 150 better version or quality even if it is least used, but not in rush.

I really don't know about another FL such as 110, 127, 240,...etc, so if i have 90 and 150 and 210 for example do i really need those lenses i started with in this line?
Like you said each to their own. Often people think in terms of a multiple for their lenses i.e. starting from the widest lens they multiply the focal length by a factor of 1.5 (or 1.66 if you want more range). So 90, 135, 200, 300 might be one progression for x1.5 for example. Or if you start with 72, 110, 150, 240/250, 350/360. For example, I find for me 110/125 is a sweet spot for moderately wide and I use that FL a lot. But that is a personal choice of mine. For 4x5 I typically head out with 80, 110, 150, 200, 300 and I usually drop the 80 unless I know there is a super wide shot.
