A 50 is generally my wide lens. On my return from my first trip to Britain, I tallied my lens usage, and it was the 50mm for over 60% of my pictures; next came the 100mm, then the 300, with a 21mm least utilized. You're right about the M3 over the IIIg, but I still can't help lusting for one (a IIIg) - the finder is set up for my two favorite focal lengths, 50 and 90, and it's smaller than an M.
