OK, here's my entry in the Swepstakes.

C#/G#

Ab/Eb

For me Fernando Silveira's is too sharp, necesitating too much embouchure
adjustment. Ann Dempsey's is too flat, though it is my fingering of
choice for the G's in the 3rd mvt of Beethoven Sym #8. eric nelson's is
also just a bit too flat (all of this relating to *my* instrument/mpc,
mind you).

My fingering, without the C#/G# key, doesn't speak very reliably, but
with it, works like a charm - speaks with good intonation and a well
matched sound to the lower octave.
