My kit (Fuji) mostly consists of the following trio: 23 f1.4, 35 f1.4 and 56 f1.2. They translate to 35, 53 and 85 FF equivalent.
I tend to mostly use the 23 as a walkaround because it's reasonably wide angle while still usable as a full body portrait lens. I find this focal length to be extremely versatile.
When I want to do some "serious" portrait work with great DOF control, I use the 56 f1.2.
I tend to not use the 35 so much because it's either to tight as a walkaround focal or too short for portraits...
One could say it's a nice compromise between the other 2 focals, but in practice I just find the 23 much more versatile.
What single prime lens do you guys use if you have to pick only one?
This said, I welcome the Oly 25mm f/1.8 despite the fact there is already a Pana f/1.4 version.
What MFT really needs is a faster 35mm equiv, a 17mm f/1.4 would be great.
Also, an UWA prime is long overdue.
