The only exception I would make is if using a vintage lens expect vintage characteristics, if using a modern lens then perhaps more technical characteristics.
To be honest, experimenting with different focal lengths to determine which best suits your needs in terms of type and subject matter of the sort of photography that interest you might help you to realise your own favourite lens/lenses. Limit yourself to one lens for a week or a day, 28, 35, 50, or 85mm etc, it doesn't matter. Sooner or later you will reach your own conclusions about which gives you the most enjoyment.
There is really only one rule in photography and that is - There Are No Rules!!!
Go enjoy yourself and good luck.

Just seen a US B-2 Stealth Bomber fly over - Anyone know why it would be over here at present?
Shame about the 20mm though. What you might have given for another '0'. It's sods law I'm afraid, it never rains but what it pours whenever you leave your brolly at home!

Not for me I'm afraid
I get the convenience aspect, and I can see the momentary attraction of a stunningly sharp and saturated snap to capture a quick moment - but I don't get anything like the same pleasure as I do with "creating" my image with a beautifully crafted DSLR. The viewfinder experience is so much better (IMO) with a Pentax DSLR, I can wander around the frame with my eye, re-composing and re-focusing to suit. My awareness of the background and the though process in selecting the right focal length and aperture is so satisfying (especially when I get it right) and the option to use lenses with ultra-thin depth of field if I wish make it the ideal tool for the job
But that's just my opinion
+2
+3 etc,etc... You get the picture. (No Pun intendeded.)
Couldn't agree with you more Lenny.
