Here are what I'd go for with Bruckner:

1.  ?
2.  Karajan/BPO
3.  Inbal/FRSO
4.  Celibidache/Munich PO (EMI)
5.  Furtwangler/BPO(1942)=Welser Most/LPO
6.  NZSO/Tintner (despite the playing/poor editing)=Furtwangler/BPO (not
complete).  I hear the recent Houston recording is worth a listen.  Any
comments?
7.  Knappertbusch/VPO (1949)=Karajan/BPO (EMI)
8.  Wand/NDRSO (live Lubeck Cathedral)=Horenstein/LSO (live)
9.  Giulini/VPO=Furtwangler/BPO, but I'd love to hear a really good
recording of the completed final movement

Happy listening,
