When it comes to selecting focal lengths, I typically select successive focal lengths roughly-double to the focal length of the lens before it (e.g., 200mm, 400mm, 800mm, etc.). That said, these represent my current Nikkor AF lens line-up, in both F- and Z-Mounts:

The FTZ adapter has ensured me a smooth transition, allowing me to enjoy the following stellar F-Mount optics for the rest of my life:
